Your gutters may not be glamorous, but they are one of the most important components of your home. Gutters catch rainwater and redirect it to your downspouts, and the downspouts deposit the rainwater safely away from your home. Without a properly functioning gutter system, rain can severely damage many parts of your home.
Gutter Helmet® of Long Island discusses how we keep this from happening.
The Dangers of Damaged Gutters
As the expert in gutters and down spouts in Bohemia, New York, we recommend regular gutter inspections. Damaged gutters can lead to a cracked foundation, stained siding, rotting window sills and ruined landscaping. When your gutters are unable to handle rain, they will overflow. This overflowing water can saturate the soil surrounding your foundation. The wet soil puts enormous pressure on a foundation, leading to cracks.
Water escaping from your gutters can also damage your siding. It can seep through cracks in the siding and damage it from the outside in. Rainwater can also flow over wooden window sills, making them more susceptible to rot and deterioration. Finally, water can damage your landscaping and wash away plants.
