The Purpose of Guttering Systems

The purpose of guttering systems is to collect water (rain) from the roofing area and disperse the water away from your home. Properly configured downspout's (leaders, drain pipes) are very essential. A faulty guttering system can contribute to damage to Soffit & Fascia, Shingles, Building Foundations, Driveways, Walkways and Landscaping.

Guttering systems require maintenance to insure protection for your home. Make sure your gutters are free from debris, leaves, granules from shingles, birds nest. The extreme exposure to nature can also cause sealant failures. Snow & Ice can loosen fasteners and should be repaired immediately to prevent costly repairs.

The fundamental purpose of rain gutters is to channel and divert water away from the foundation of your house. However, rain gutters easily get clogged and when they do, problems can quickly arise. When rain gutters get clogged with leaves, twigs, granules from shingles, and other debris, they overflow and can cause costly damage to your home. Here is a list of some of the potential damage that can happen to your house due to an improperly working rain gutter system:

• Foundation Damage
• Wood Rot
• Black Mold
• Basement Leaks
• Ruined Paint
• Eroding Masonry
• Shingle and Roof Damage
• Driveway Damage
• Walkway Damage
• Damage to Landscaping

Different styles of gutter are available to suit the design of the roof, the building method and the desired appearance. Exposed rain gutter is available in a variety of profiles to suit the appearance of the building. Common exposed rain gutter is fixed to the fascia board, which in turn is fixed to the ends of the rafters. A fascia gutter incorporates a rain gutter with a fascia. Box gutter is a deep gutter which is concealed within the structure of the roof. A box gutter is usually applied when the rainwater is to be collected from points within the boundary walls of the building. Water collected by a box gutter is fed to the down pipe via a rainhead.
