Rain gutters are an important and very much under-appreciated part of your roofing and drainage system. If they become clogged with leaves and other debris, they will not work effectively. A clogged rain gutter will cause rain to run off your roof in areas where you do not want the moisture, including back onto your house itself, depending on the placement of the gutter.
Clean your rain gutters often during the rainy season, but particularly just after your fall leaves have dropped.
Rain gutters are at least one story high and can be difficult to reach. Home owners commonly choose either the "ladder method" or a "reaching tool" that allows you to clean out the gutter.
Among the main reasons you have to make sure that the gutter and downspout system in your house is in great repair work is because it will assist to safeguard your house from rainwater damage. While the roof and walls of your home are designed properly as to safeguard them from rain, this only works if the rainwater is redirected and managed so that more susceptible parts of your property are not left open to it.
Without an effectively working rain gutter and downspout system rainwater will be enabled to flow in an uncontrolled manner, which will increase the possibility that it will get to susceptible sections of your property. When water flows over these more vulnerable sections of your home it will ultimately end up entering your house, and that’s when the very expensive repairs start to come into play.
The greatest fear of rainwater entering your house is black mold. Mold spores are everywhere, they are simply sitting around waiting on exposure to moisture so that they can end up being active. If you have moisture in your house then it’s quite much a given that you are going to wind up with a black mold issue. Now while this kind of problem is bad, it’s even worse when it’s a result of a slow leakage such as the type that a faulty gutter and downspout system allows.
