As the leading providers of rain gutters in Redding, CA, we know most homeowners don’t spend a lot of time thinking about their gutters.  In fact, they probably don’t think about them at all.  But if they only knew how important rain gutters really were, and how their gutter system could save them a lot of headaches and money down the road, they would start thinking about their gutters more often.

After many years of installing and maintaining gutters in Redding, CA, we’re here to help you and other homeowners understand the importance of your gutters.  Gutters drive water away from the roof and push it away from your home, which will protect your siding, windows, doors, and foundation from water damage.  While that sounds important, many homeowners don’t understand the damage clogged or broken gutters can cause.

When a gutter system isn’t working properly, rainwater can’t run off the roof and will eventually find its way to the home’s foundation.  The heavy California rains will create standing pools of water and cause a multitude of other problems.

Why Is a Gutter System So Important to Your Home?

  • It prevents your home’s basement from flooding.
  • It prevents your foundation from cracks and damage.
  • It prevents infestation. A lot of mosquitos and other insects love standing water.
  • It prevents mold. Overflowing gutters are the ideal environment for mold to grow.  The mold can find its way into crawlspaces and basements.
  • It can prevent erosions. Topsoil protects the foundation of your home.  If water isn’t properly driven away from your home, then the topsoil will erode, leaving your home exposed.
  • It prevents staining to your home’s fascia, wood framing, and soffit. It can also protect your decks, patio, outdoor furniture, walkways, and driveway.
  • It can protect your home’s paint.
  • It can protect your home from rusting and rotting.
  • It can prevent damage to your landscape. Fungi can damage and kill your flowers and gardens.
