It’s a fact that a great metal roof will last a lifetime with little maintenance, protecting your home from unwanted leaks that can cause terrible damage inside. As rain pours down on the roof and runs to the sides of the house, it falls on the ground and causes more damage than you think. Water is the one thing that does more damage to your home than anything else.
Some of the damage that can happen when water POURS around your home can be damage to siding, staining of rock or brick walls, foundation settling and even cracking. One-Inch rainfall might not sound much, but taking into account the average size roof, it becomes 1,900 gallons of water pouring right around your house. This can be very destructive!
Gutters will protect your home from water damage to the exterior of the house. Rain gutters on the edge end of the slopes of your roof are the answer to making your foundation, sidewalks, decks and walls last longer. These control and channel the water that falls away from your house, and should take the water about three feet away from your foundation. Considering what gutters will protect your investment from, it’s pretty clear that they are worth it.
