10 Ways Seamless Rain Gutters Protect the Home
 

1. MOISTURE CONTROL
Keep basements, crawl spaces, and garages, dry and free of conditions that support mold and wood fungi growth by controlling roof drainage.

2. FOUNDATION PROTECTION
Limit the movement of active zone soils underneath the foundation by reducing the amount of water that enters at the foundation wall.

Top soil around the foundation is the weakest link in foundation moisture control. Preventing topsoil erosion can help prevent future structural damage.

 4. SHIELD WINDOWS AND DOORS

 6. PROTECTS FASCIA
Water migration may cause rotting and insects that can be costly to repair. Quickly moving water away from rafter and roof joints is essential to a homes long term durability.

 7. INCREASE ROOF OVERHANG
Rain gutters can add up to 6” of protective roof overhang providing additional shielding of windows and doors, improving drying times and moisture levels.

 8. PREVENTS SPLASH-BACK
Rain gutters keep siding and masonry looking new by preventing splash back of dirt, grass, and minerals that stain the exterior and can be difficult removing over time.
