Poor drainage can cause property damage. When water cannot escape properly, it can cause flooding, leaks, foundational damage, yard damage, and washouts, among other problems. A properly functioning gutter drainage system will direct water away from the residence and into storm drain systems.
A gutter is a straightforward method of above-ground drainage used on streets and squares. The street profile can be the same as a standard solution with storm drains but without the drains and with a slightly deeper gutter.
Poorly maintained drains can lead to clogs and blockages that are a hassle to clear, so it makes sense to take the easiest route and take care of your pipes, thereby preventing problems from occurring.
Your downspouts are responsible for managing water. During a storm, they effectively direct roof water flow through the downspouts and the appropriate areas outside the residence. Without a gutter system, leaves and other detritus can collect on your roof, causing water to stagnate and overflow.
