Don’t ignore your guttering – call in the experts to replace any damaged sections
We all take the gutters on our homes for granted. They are above our heads, out of our eye line and not a particularly interesting aspect of the house. We know they capture rainwater and ensure it is directed down the external drainpipes. Other than that, we don’t really consider the role they play.
Unfortunately, this ignorance isn’t bliss for many homeowners. Gutters that are ignored become dirty and blocked, and it won’t be long before you’re forced to take a closer look, rather than walk on by and if left for too long, the guttering could become damaged and in need of repair.
Gutter issues
The gutter is a hard working, unsung hero of your roofline. The guttering around the edge of the roof helps to move the rainwater away, ensuring it doesn’t enter the home through the doors, windows and foundations. Guttering also ensures you don’t get an unexpected shower as you walk on by.
Most people don’t think about gutter maintenance until it’s too late. Gutters that have filled with dirt and debris – leaves are the classic example – will simply crack and break. Debris and moss can also weigh the gutters down and put strain on them. And if the gutters are full, then the rainwater will simply flow over edge and down the side of the house. This water can then gather in standing pools around the edges of the building and seep into the foundations.
In short, neglected gutters lead to myriad problems that you want to avoid.
