A lot of homeowners do not pay much attention to their gutters or the importance of having the water kept away from the home. However, the gutters play an extremely important role in how your home is maintained and the overall life that it has. They keep the water away from your home so that everything stays safe, dry and able to work how it is supposed to. The problem with many homes, though, is that the gutters leak. Water is one of the biggest threats that your home has,  and if the gutters are not doing their job, then you're allowing many problems to occur in and around the home such as rot or mold and mildew.

And if your downspouts don't direct water away from the foundation, that water is also able to get into the crawlspace or basement of your home and this can cost you thousands of dollars to fix. Minor leaks in the gutters can wear on them and cause them to fall when you're not looking which can cause damage to the home and to those that live inside it.

As you're considering your gutters, do not believe those that say that do not play an important role in the working order of your home, because they do. They are an important element in protecting your home.  But installing gutters is only the first step.  Once they're in place you need to make sure that they are maintained and able to do the job that they were meant to do in the first place.  It's important to regularly clean and flush them out, especially in the early spring and again in the fall after the trees have lost their leaves.  Left in your gutters, decaying leaves can cause clogs and lead to ice dams in the winter.   And be sure to check the downspouts for blockage, too.
