True to their name, rain gutters help filter rain water away from the roof and foundation of your home, guiding the water to grass or the ground outside your house instead. These gutters are especially important in the winter months of Commerce City. When your home is covered in snow after a blizzard, the melting snow needs somewhere to go – otherwise, it can start to infect your roof or drip down into your home’s foundation.
The absence of properly installed or repaired rain gutters can also result in basement flooding. If the water from melted snow or rain continues to be abrasive on your home’s exterior, it can cause cracks that further water can slip through. In cases of severe storms, this is a surefire way to expose your home to the elements. Because these cracks are hard to see, you often won’t know that flooding is occurring until you walk into your basement. By then, it’s often too late.
