A proper gutter system sheds water away from your home. It aids in protecting your landscape, keeping water from turning into ice over sidewalks and driveways, and in keeping your basement dry.
A poor gutter system can have far worse consequences than no gutters at all. A clogged gutter can cause water to back up and enter the home through the roof system. When this happens, water can travel along the tops of walls until it finds a place to drain. Usually this is noticeable by water or stains in the corners where walls and ceilings meet. Over time, this water can rob your insulation of its R-value and allow mold and rot to form.
A poor gutter system will drain near the foundation, allowing water to seep through basements walls. It keeps crawl spaces damp and promotes insect infestation.
