Why Rain Gutters?
Imagine a heavy downpour: rain pounds your roof and torrents spill over the eaves. You can't reach the front door without passing beneath a mini-Niagara. Get the idea? Before that next storm arrives, it may be a good idea to consider how your house will weather it. This brings us to the subject of gutters.
Granted, gutters aren't exactly glamorous. But they handle a critical task: routing the runoff from a very large surface--your roof--to proper drainage away from the house. By doing this, they keep your house high and dry, protecting siding, windows, doors and foundation from water damage.
