Helpful Information About the Importance of Gutters and Downspouts
When rain falls or snow melts, there can be a tremendous amount of water a house roof collects, and will need to shed. The guttering on a house plays an important function to help collect this water, and then move it to the downspouts. The downspout captures the water from the gutter, then takes the water down the side of the house into a downspout that is normally extended at the base. The downspout extension at the base moves the water away from the house. 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 house is to prevent problems from potentially surfacing by having too much moisture in the ground. Too much water near the house 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.
If you are worried about gutter maintenance, Lemke Home Improvements can install Leaf Shelters for Gutters. By installing Leaf Shelters for Gutters, which is essentially a guard for gutters, makes maintenance to remove leaves from the gutters virtually non-existent.
