What Are the Benefits of New Gutters?

Your home’s gutter system captures water from the roof and safely diverts it away from your property. With old or faulty components, you could experience serious (and spendy) issues like flooding and foundation degradation. Read on to learn more about preventing these issues and the other benefits of new gutters.

Boost Your Home’s Curb Appeal

As you’ll see, gutters serve practical purposes in protecting your home. But that doesn’t mean they can’t look good, too. Our professionals will help you select materials with a style and color that increase your home’s curb appeal while keeping it safe from damage.

Protect Against Exterior Damage

Clogged, broken, or otherwise faulty gutters lead to water backing up onto the roof and/or leaking down along the siding and windows of your home. If left unaddressed, this can wreak havoc on exterior components:

  • Roofing: Water backing up and collecting on your roof will degrade the material and create leaks. Over time, this can cause rot, trigger mold/mildew growth, and attract pests.
  • Siding and windows: Excessive and prolonged moisture exposure due to nonfunctioning gutters can lead to water damage and unsightly stains on your siding and trim. It can also cause water spots to develop on windows.

Ensure your home’s exterior is protected by investing in a new gutter system from Armor Construction.

Prevent Structural Damage, Mold, and Insect Infestation

When water runoff isn’t properly managed by the gutter system, it can creep in through seams, gaps, and leaks of roofing and siding. The excess moisture weakens your home’s structural integrity and can even cause rot over time. Additionally, this creates a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and insect/pest infestation. New gutters ensure rain and snow melt are safely diverted away to prevent these issues.

Inhibit Basement Flooding and Foundation Damage

When gutters don’t collect and safely channel water away from the property, it can pool in your yard, erode the soil, and effectively weaken your home’s foundation. The moisture can also seep through the walls and cause wet or flooded basements. When installing a new gutter system, our team will create a design that ensures water will be drained away via strategically placed downspouts.
