Helpful Information About the Importance of Gutters and Downspouts
When rain falls or snow melts, there can be a tremendous amount of water the roof collects, and will need to shed. The guttering plays an important function to help collect this water, and then moves it to the downspouts. The downspout captures the water from the gutter, then gravity takes the water into a downspout that is normally extended at the base. The downspout extension at the base moves the water away from the structure. Sometimes gutters are actually referred to as rain gutters, although in the Northern climates the same concept works once the snow melts from the roof.
The reason why it is important to move water away from a structure is to prevent problems from potentially surfacing by having too much moisture in the ground. Too much water near the structure may cause damage to the foundation, water seeping into the basement, or eroding soil. Additionally, soils in parts of the Red River Valley can be a heavier soil that tend to retain moisture much longer than a sandy type soil.
