A gutter is a part of home’s roof structure used for collecting rainwater and moving the same away from the house so that it does not cause any damage.
Without gutters the water would end up soaking into roofs and walls, thus damaging the building and reducing its longevity.
Apart from the cosmetic damage like ruining the paint and roof tiles, the rainwater could also rot the walls and cause structural damage. Most people remain unaware of these problems till the damage has already been done.
Gutter cleaning has to be done on a regular basis, so that the safety of the residence remains ensured.
