The heavy rain and flooding in central Minnesota this week is causing stress to many homeowners. Roof leaks and flooding are just some of the issues that people around the metro area are experiencing. Upgrading and installing new rain gutters can make a great difference for your home when it rains.

Gutters direct rain away from your home and help prevent flooding. Proper water flow also means less dirt splashing on your home’s siding and windows.

If rain is pouring off your roof instead of flowing through the downspouts, chance are your landscaping is taking a toll. Clogged or poorly working rain gutters causes rain to fall of your roof and can damage plants and flowers. It can also cause soil erosion which creates uneven ground. Old gutters can also cause sitting water which can cause breeding grounds for bugs and mosquitoes.

When upgrading your gutters consider installing a type of gutter guard to protect your gutters from debris that could cause blockages. Call Snap at 612-333-7627 to upgrade your gutters and additional home projects.
