- There are several reasons to install guttering on your house, the first being the protection of your home's foundation.
When the runoff from the roof repeatedly erodes around the foundation over time, this will compromise the integrity of the
foundation.
|
- The splash that occurs when this runoff hits the ground can cause discoloration and mold to appear on the lower part of the
exterior of the house.
|
- Another problem caused by the runoff is associated with air conditioning units, in the case that there is too much water being
diverted onto it.
|
- If the water is draining off of the roof onto concrete, it will discolor the concrete along the splash line.
|
- Runoff in specific problem areas, such as over the front and back doors and over the garage, can be corrected with the installation
of guttering.
