The most important benefit that gutters can provide for any home is protection from potential water damage caused by harsh weather conditions. Water, though a necessity for plant and human life alike, can be extremely destructive and even deadly if left to it’s own devices. In order to reinforce the need for gutters even further, here are a few very real ways that improperly functioning or clogged gutters can impact the well being of your home.
Cracked Foundation - Gutters are meant to redirect water away from your home’s foundation. When a clog is present, water has no choice but to spill over the side of your gutter system, down your home and to its base. Pooling water can infiltrate your home’s foundation, causing cracks and shifting over time, and in extreme cases it can lead to collapse.
Rotten Wood - Most gutter systems are supported and attached to the home by wooden fascia boards. Pooling caused by a clog can allow for wood rot to take hold, jeopardizing your home’s structure and welcoming pests like termites to infest your home. If your home also has wooden siding the overflow caused by the clog can spill down over your siding and cause rot there as well.
Waterlogged Landscape - While water is usually a good thing for your landscape, too much of it can be detrimental. When water cascades down your home's side and into your flowerbeds the ground can become over-saturated, suffocating flowers, trees and other shrubbery that may be surrounding your home.
Interior Damage - Once your home’s outer layer has been damaged and permeated by water, what’s to stop it from making its way inside? Damaged siding, rotten fascia boards and foundation cracks all provide points of entry for flooding water, mold growth and pests alike.
