We tend to overlook our gutters when it comes to maintaining our homes, yet they serve such an essential function. They are not too complicated, really; just some simple geometry and physics allow our gutters to protect our homes. But what if those gutters are clogged, damaged, or just poorly installed? Instead of doing a rooftop effect akin to what your hat might do on a rainy day, they could be channeling water right to where your roof meets your house’s walls and where your walls meet the foundation.
What Happens when Gutters aren’t Cared For
When gutters get clogged, water cannot escape properly. Gutters that are too flat or too sloped can also retain water. What happens when water is retained? Where does it go? It seeps into the roofing system. It doesn’t matter how the water gets there—the roofing system is compromised. Rotted wood receives the same rating as wood that has been heavily infested with pests. A gutter that is too flat or too sloped can have stagnant water in it. What does stagnant water do? It attracts mosquitoes.
