Why install gutters on your home?
Some homeowners install gutters simply for some added curb appeal, however there are several good reasons to have a properly installed gutter system on your house.

1. Gutters can provide proper drainage to keep water running away from your home so it does not seep into basements which could support mold and fungus.
2. Gutters can prevent water from pooling  on porches where it can turn to ice and become dangerous for those entering and exiting the house.
3. Gutters protect siding from splashback stain & rot.
4. Gutters protect windows and doors from water infiltration and damage.
5. Gutters help prevent water from pooling under house which can become a breeding place for mosquitoes and cause mold and fungus & cause floor joist to rot.
6. Gutters will keep rain from falling off overhand so you don’t get soaked when you have to walk under them.
7. Gutters keep fascia boards from rotting

When should you replace your old gutters?
If the gutters on your home are old or if they were not installed properly they may cause damage, instead of protect from damage. Here as some things to look for.

1. Loose guttering that has pulled away from the house.
2. Gutters that let water overflow.
3. Gutters that leak at the seams.
4. Gutters that sag in places.
5. Gutters that are rusting or just plan look bad may decrease the appearance and selling value of your home.

Once your new gutters are installed, you will want to keep them clean. There are several gutter covers on the market designed to accomplishing this. Some of these products work and some don’t.  At Southeast Home Improvement we have tried several covers and have narrowed it down to a few that work well in our area. Our friendly consultants can advise you based on your individual property needs.
