1. Protecting Your Foundation from Flash Flooding
Northern Nevada’s dry soil doesn’t absorb water quickly. When those summer monsoons hit or snow rapidly melts, all that water runs straight off your roof. Without gutters, that water pools near your foundation, which can lead to cracking, erosion, or even basement leaks.
2. Preventing Ice Dams and Roof Damage
In winter, clogged or poorly sloped gutters contribute to ice dam formation. This traps water on your roof, which can seep under shingles and cause long-term damage. Seamless gutters with proper drainage reduce this risk significantly.
3. Defending Landscaping and Exterior Features
Whether you’ve invested in xeriscaping, a lawn, or decorative stonework, uncontrolled roof runoff can wreak havoc on it. Gutters channel water exactly where it needs to go—away from your plants, walkways, and siding.
4. Boosting Home Value and Curb Appeal
A clean, well-installed gutter system doesn’t just protect—it enhances your home’s look. Copper or half-round gutters, for example, can give your home a premium finish that buyers appreciate.
