You have probably planned for everything under the roof, but what about alongside it? Perhaps you haven\u2019t thought about the ways in which a gutter system provides protection. We can help with that and keep you informed with these gutter fundamentals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The What<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put, gutters help safely drain water from your rooftop. Think of it as plumbing for your home\u2019s exterior. The system collects rainwater and channels it to the ground, away from your home and its foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gutters should be correctly installed, accurately positioned, and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"free of debris (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nomoreseams.com\/blog\/2020\/04\/14\/reasons-to-keep-your-gutters-free-of-debris\/\" target=\"_blank\">free of debris<\/a> to function properly. Clogged or damaged gutters can cause water to build up or overflow and seep into your home. Check gutters regularly to ensure they are securely fastened and free from leaves, twigs, animal nests, or other debris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The Why<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Minnesota sees its share of spring and summer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cocorahs.org\/ViewData\/StateDailyPrecipReports.aspx?state=MN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"rains (opens in a new tab)\">rains<\/a>, and we know about those winters. All that melting snow needs to go somewhere. A gutter system helps protect many areas of your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Roof.<\/strong> A roof is designed to shield the structure but not to sustain water buildup. Gutters gather that water and carry it away from the roofline and your home. <\/li><li><strong>Siding.<\/strong> Rain and roof drainage can take a toll on your siding. Gutters help keep it from becoming saturated, which could lead to issues with mold and rot.<\/li><li><strong>Basement and foundation.<\/strong> An effective gutter system will direct water away from your home\u2019s foundation to help prevent structural deterioration and damage. Rainwater that drains too close to the home can pool along the foundation and seep into cracks or other openings in the basement. Downspouts should extend six feet from your home.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The Where<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing a gutter system will help protect the overall investment in your home and help give you peace of mind year-round.
