Venice homeowners may not think too often about their gutters. However, rain gutters are an important component of your roofing system, playing a role in preventing leaks and mitigating serious water damage. And since this region has over 50 inches of rain per year – concentrated over a six month period – it is important to understand how to best protect your investment.
Rain gutters collect rainwater which is traveling down the slope of the roof, and transport it away form the roof, siding, and foundation of your home. To guarantee that your gutters are effective, routine gutter maintenance should be a part of your annual home maintenance plans.
If rain gutters are not maintained correctly, you run the risk of large amounts of water flowing into areas it is not intended to. Water can damage the structure of your home, as well as pool on the roof – not to mention do damage to your foundation and landscaping beds. Any time water collects in and around the structure, leaks and erosion are likely to occur.
Maintenance of rain gutters is fairly basic and easy to stay on top of:
Gutter maintenance is easily combined with basic roof maintenance. After every major storm, when you check to see if there was any roof damage, walk around your home and look for signs of gutter issues as well. Be sure to ask your roofing contractor to check the rain gutters during your annual roof inspection as well. By combining these two maintenance issues, you can easily stay on top of the entire roofing system, gutters included.
