An effective gutter system affords many benefits for homeowners. Gutters collect and carry rainwater and other precipitation away from the home, which prevents the water from pooling around the residence or cascading down the siding. When leaking gutters do not successfully move rainwater away from the home, the results can be disastrous. Problems like fascia and window sill rot and landscaping erosion can occur, resulting in costly damage and a major headache for homeowners. A lesser-known but more detrimental problem associated with failing gutter systems is foundation damage.

Can Gutters Help Protect Your Home’s Foundation?

That’s right, a sound, effective gutter system can actually prevent damage to your home’s foundation. When rainwater or precipitation pools around the outside of your home, it can erode the foundation over time, which can cause the foundation to weaken or crack. This is not only an extremely expensive problem, but it can also compromise your home’s structural integrity, leading to potential safety risks. That’s why it is important to repair leaking gutters or correct gutters that do not properly carry rainwater away from your home as soon as possible.
