The Purpose of Gutters

The purpose of gutters on your house is to channel water from the roof to the ground in a controlled manner.

If there are no gutters the water run-off from your roof runs straight into the ground, which can compromise the structural integrity of your house’s foundations and the base of the load bearing walls. Signs of water damage may include cracks in walls caused by slipping foundations and plaster peeling off the walls, due to rising damp.

Cleaning & Maintaining Gutters

Gutters that are not cleaned and maintained regularly may have leaves and other debris blocking the water from flowing correctly & efficiently. This can create more serious and costly repairs in the future.

Blocked gutters can create overflowing water, rust, dry rot and rising damp as well as water damage to your home’s walls and paint.

Maintenance to Gutters keeps them clean, strong and effective.
