Why are Rain Gutters Important?
Rain gutters are essential in the protection of your home and can save you thousands of dollars in repair over the years. During rain storms, gutters route water runoff from your roof and drain it away from your home to prevent landscape erosion, back splash and rot on siding. They also keep water from infiltrating windows and doors. The most common reason is to keep water runoff away from building foundations to minimize or prevent water leakage so basements and crawl spaces stay dry. Gutters are available in a variety of colors to match the color of your home. Residential gutters are offered in mainly two thicknesses, .027 and .032. Black Diamond Seamless Gutters uses .032 gauge aluminum for our residential gutters. The advantage of .032 seamless gutters is less warping and leakage than .027 or vinyl gutters. If you already have gutters its important to keep them clean of leaves and debris for them to work properly. Clogged gutters could also lead to water damage. There are many types of screens and other products to help keep leaves out. Click on our tab above to see the types of leafprotection we offer. If the purchase of some form of leaf protection is not for you then cleaning the gutters at least twice a year is recommended. Once in spring to remove any roof debris from shingles that might have come loose with the winter thaw and once after the leaves fall. Leaf protection can save you money over the long run and the hassle and time of climbing on your roof to clean them if you prefer to do it yourself.
