What gutters are really protecting on your home
Gutters do much more than keep water from dripping on your head at the front door. Their main job is to collect rainwater from your roof and carry it safely away from the structure. When gutters are working correctly, they help prevent water from running down exterior walls, soaking window and door trim, pooling at the base of your foundation, and washing out landscaping. Over time, poor drainage can contribute to wood rot on fascia boards, staining on siding, erosion around walkways, and moisture problems under the house. That is why a small issue like a loose bracket or leaky seam can quietly grow into a much bigger repair if it is ignored season after season.
