GUTTERS & DOWNSPOUTS
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
This system is important for a home as it helps navigate the flow of water by moving the water away from the house's foundation and basement. It is essential for the structure of your home to keep it from overflowing and getting damaged. The gutter and downspout work together to redirect water in a safer place.
WHEN SHOULD MY SYSTEM BE REPLACED
Cracking: when there are cracks in your gutter, it defeats the purpose of the drainage system. These cracks can be visible under the gutters and when there are heavy storms as the water is not able to move correctly.
Incorrect Maintenance: Drainage systems have a lifespan of about 20 years if it is maintained well. Owners should often check to make sure their gutters don't have any small debris or leaves that can clog the system. However, this is often forgotten and left untreated, causing the system to fail.
Rusting: After years of water passing through drains, they can become rusty and eventually rotten. If you notice this in your drain pipes, it is time to get it removed
