Rain Gutters System Professionals
There are a few different types of gutters that you can install on your house. Typically, you can select one that complements the design of your house or complements your personal style. If you’re looking for curb appeal, you can choose one that matches the length of your house, features hidden hangers, or is made from different materials.
Aluminum gutters are an excellent choice because they don’t rust. These gutters can be made to a custom length and are relatively inexpensive. Since they’re made from metal coil stock, they are also lightweight and durable. Aluminum gutters also differ in gauge, which is the thickness of the material. A heavier gauge is usually installed for homes that live in a colder climate.
Why Gutters Are A Must
Gutters play an important role in protecting your home from water damage. When it rains, water runs off your roof and can pool around your foundation, seep into your basement, and damage your landscaping. Gutters direct water away from your home, protecting it from water damage.
​
Clogged gutters can cause serious problems. When gutters are clogged, water can’t flow through them properly and can back up onto your roof. This can cause water to leak into your home through your roof or eaves, and can also cause your gutters to pull away from your home. Clogged gutters can also cause ice dams in the winter, which can damage your roof and gutters.
