Importance of a gutter system

The majority of houses with gutters don’t have a system that is complete and installed correctly. A properly installed gutter system will include gutters on every sloped roof edge. The gutters should not hold standing water, should not leak, should be securely fastened and should have downspouts. A proper gutter system keeps the ground around the house from becoming waterlogged and the rainwater from potentially being absorbed into the foundation, where it causes severe damage to the structure, as well as surrounding structures.

Due to the lack of rain we have been having, the humidity levels in the air is a lot higher & opens the pores of plastered walls. Water can now enter and flow through the cracks, causing rapid plaster rot & leeching away of cement.

Downspouts should not be close to the foundation. This is a common mistake that installers and homeowners make. What’s the use of having a complete gutter system that dumps all the water from the roof at the side of the foundation? What’s needed is a minimum of three-foot diversion away from the foundation.
