Rain gutters are an important aspect of your Minneapolis home’s exterior. Because of this, having properly functioning rain gutters that will last are essential.

Rain gutters help protect your home. They can prevent interior flooding. If your rain gutters are not working properly, rain is not diverted from your house which can result in basement flooding. Depending on the amount of water, this can be very damaging and costly. Flooding is not something that any homeowner wants to deal with. Installing effective gutters is the first step to ensure a water free basement.

Landscaping is a point of pride for a homeowner. Time and dedication go into making the landscaping around your home look beautiful. If your gutters are not working well, a heavy rain could destroy the time you have put into gardening and caring for your yard. Clogged gutters can cause rain to rush from your Minneapolis roof and through the landscaping and knock down plants and shrubs. Soil erosion can also occur from the flow of water in the yard.

Water falling from your Bloomington roofing without gutters or properly functioning gutters causes a mess. Mud can splash up on your siding and on the walkway to your home. If there is not a covering above your front entry, mud and water makes for a messy entrance during a rain shower.

Clogged gutters become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. The sitting water attracts the pesky bugs and the result – more mosquitoes when you are trying to enjoy the outdoor weather.

Fascia can be ruined if gutters are clogged. Excess water can hit the wooden fascia resulting in rot over time. Replacing fascia on an entire home can be costly and time consuming.
