Importance Of Your Gutter System
Your gutter system plays an extremely important role in protecting your home. Many do not realize just how much water is pushed away from your roof and foundation by your gutters. Here is an example. During a heavy thunderstorm, it is not uncommon to get 1-2 inches of rain in a short period of time. That translates into 500-1000 gallons of water down your gutters. The tub in your bathroom only holds about 40 gallons of water total, so give that some thought. That is a lot of water! It is critical to make sure that your gutter system is working well so that it can push all of that water away, in order to prevent water damage inside your home and around your foundation.

We are coming out of another long, cold period of the year. Even during the cold weather months that do not have major storms, our homes are still battered by the elements. Snow is the obvious culprit in Minnesota. Rain may not be so closely associated with our beautiful state, but it also does its part to slowly damage the exterior of our homes. Wind may be the most dangerous and damaging culprit of the three. The exterior of our homes is under constant assault.

We are finally coming out of another long Minnesota winter. When the sun provides light for longer periods of time each day, it is easier to see the wear and tear and damage done to our houses during the colder months of fall, winter, and early spring. Some of this damage might have been made worse because of the condition of your current gutter system. If you have a builder’s grade gutter system on your house, there is a good chance that it has begun to outlive its usefulness. Most of the gutters installed on houses by builders do little more than meet local building codes. For a short period of time, they will do an acceptable job of moving rain and snow away from your house, but over time, they will degrade to a point where they no longer function as they should. 
As a homeowner, keeping water as far away as possible from the structure of your home should be a top priority if you’re looking to keep your home in good shape long term. How do you keep the water away from your home’s foundation, you may ask? Well, a functioning gutter system is the best way. Your gutter system, however, will only go as far as your gutter downspouts will take it. The importance of functioning gutter downspouts is something that our team at Minnesota Leafless Gutters prioritizes with every project that we take on in MN. Gutter Downspouts are a big part of making sure the water drains away from the foundation.
