As many homeowners on Long Island will tell you, September through November is hurricane season, filled with stormy skies and rain galore. In addition to being a stylish accent on any home, rain gutters serve to collect water that comes down onto your home during a rainstorm and carry it safely away from the house to avoid destructive water damage. Not convinced? Here are three of the most detrimental issues that homeowners may face, and they can all be avoided by installing properly functioning rain gutters.
1. Flooded, moldy basement. If you have a basement but do not have a gutter system, you’re at risk of a flood. Without anything to catch and redirect the heavy rain, the water will spill down the side of the house and pool at it’s base, pouring into your basement window wells. Pretty soon the wells will become too full and water will begin to seep in through porous cement walls or unsealed window frames. If you don’t notice the water right away it can sit within your floors and Sheetrock, presenting the perfect cold, dark, wet conditions for mold to thrive.
2. Damaged, weakened foundation. When water pools at your foundation it can eat away at and erode the cement over time. Cracks can form and a study foundation can become weakened and shifted by water damage. Not only will your home lack a strong base, but your windows and doors will begin to sag, as the house will no longer sit evenly on its base..
3. Warped, stained siding. As the water cascades down the side of your home you risk the chance of having to deal with water stains, peeling paint, rotting, and more. Like a good gutter system, your siding is meant to protect your home. Without properly secured siding, water will get into your walls and can potentially cause damage to your Sheetrock and insulation. Gutters however, can catch the rain and redirect it so that it doesn’t pour down your siding.
