April showers do bring May flowers, but they can also wreak havoc on your home without properly maintained drainage systems in place. You may tend to think of your gutters as merely the source of a tedious chore, but they are integral to safeguarding your home against water damage.
Here’s why upgrading your gutters is a worthwhile investment:
- Prevents water damage – The top priority of your home’s gutters is to protect your home and its foundation from water damage. Without gutters, water would collect around the base of the home, eroding the soil and causing potentially devastating damage to the foundation. Not only that, but gutters also give water a safe route off your roof to prevent damage there as well. From top to bottom, homes need gutters to keep water at bay.
- Promotes healthy landscaping – Many homeowners don’t realize that heavy rainfall can dump gallons of water on a home in a single shower. All that water has to go somewhere, and without proper drainage routes, water runoff from your home can flood your landscaping. Gutters solve this problem by routing water to a safe dispersal area that benefits your property.
- Adds to the look and style of your home – Well-maintained gutters give your home a clean, polished look. Compared to other home projects, they are an affordable way to add style and enhance the curb appeal of your home while also contributing to its care and protection.
