Why does my house need Guttering
- The 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, it can compromise the integrity of the foundation.
- The splash that occurs when this runoff hits the ground, can cause discoloration, premature wear, and mold to appear on the lower part of the exterior of the house.
- Air conditioning units, because of their close proximity to the house, are susceptible to damage from runoff directly onto the unit.
- Concrete walkways, entries, patios and driveways can become stained and pitted without a gutter and drain system.
- The installation of gutters over entryways and garages provide convenience as you leave and return to your home.
- Gardens and flowerbeds can sustain tremendous damage if not protected by a gutter and drainage system.
Do I need Guttering on the entire house?
- While installing guttering on certain areas of your home offer the most convenience, it is recommended that guttering be installed on all the drip edges for complete protection from damage that occurs without them.
Should I replace my guttering or simply have it repaired?
- Several aspects of guttering can be repaired more cost effectively than replacement, such as leaking corners, sagging guttering, and guttering that needs to be re-pitched to flow toward the downspout.
- Beyond minor repairs it is often more sensible to replace the necessary sections.
