Clogs Can Shorten The Life Of A Gutter System
A rainstorm can exert around 1,000 pounds of pressure on a roof, and gutters displace nearly 600 pounds of pressure. As such, gutters keep rainwater from hitting at full force. They cannot work effectively if twigs, dirt, and leaves clog gutters. They need to be kept clean and maintained three to four times annually.
Allowing twigs, leaves, and dirt to accumulate may cause your gutter to rust out or develop a hole. Without treating these holes Read Full Post
We are coming out of another long, cold period of the year. Even during the cold weather months that do not have major storms, our homes are still battered by the elements. Snow is the obvious culprit in Minnesota. Rain may not be so closely associated with our beautiful state, but it also does its part to slowly damage the exterior of our homes. Wind may be the most dangerous and damaging culprit of the three. The exterior of our homes is under constant assault.

We are finally coming out of another long Minnesota winter. When the sun provides light for longer periods of time each day, it is easier to see the wear and tear and damage done to our houses during the colder months of fall, winter, and early spring. Some of this damage might have been made worse because of the condition of your current gutter system. If you have a builder’s grade gutter system on your house, there is a good chance that it has begun to outlive its usefulness. Most of the gutters installed on houses by builders do little more than meet local building codes. For a short period of time, they will do an acceptable job of moving rain and snow away from your house, but over time, they will degrade to a point where they no longer function as they should. 
As a homeowner, keeping water as far away as possible from the structure of your home should be a top priority if you’re looking to keep your home in good shape long term. How do you keep the water away from your home’s foundation, you may ask? Well, a functioning gutter system is the best way. Your gutter system, however, will only go as far as your gutter downspouts will take it. The importance of functioning gutter downspouts is something that our team at Minnesota Leafless Gutters prioritizes with every project that we take on in MN. Gutter Downspouts are a big part of making sure the water drains away from the foundation.
