Quality Gutters Protect Your Foundation
The main purpose of a gutter system is to channel your roof water away from your home. Unfortunately, most run-of-the-mill gutter systems can easily clog with leaves and other debris and fail to properly collect the roof water. When this happens, water can sheet over your gutters and pour directly into the ground and saturate it with water and cause major problems for your home’s foundation.
Foundation Damage Caused by Roof Water
As the ground becomes saturated with roof water, the soils in the ground expand and can put an immense amount of pressure on your foundation walls. This is known as hydrostatic pressure and can put as much as a few thousand pounds of pressure against your foundation walls. As the pressure increases, it can result in large cracks and bowing or buckling basement walls. This can leave your home susceptible to interior water damage as well as structural damage. To avoid the risk of this damage, it’s important to have a quality gutter system on your home to properly channel the roof water away from your foundation.
