Why You Need Gutters

We get a lot of rain here on the first coast. And water can significantly damage your St. Augustine and Jacksonville area home.

The job of your gutter system is to protect your home by moving water away from areas that could be damaged. And these damages can be costly.

Foundational Problems

The expansion and contraction of the soils around your home is the number one contributing factor to slab failure. After a lot of rainy weather, the soils around a home become saturated with moisture and expand. This cycle can lead to cracked foundation and masonry.

The average house foundation repair costs $3,817 and many times can exceed $10,000.

Masonry and Siding Staining

Rainwater falling off an unguttered roof will hit the ground with enough force to cause a splash back. The splash back cause dirt to end up on the exterior of your home. Over a short period of time, staining from mold and fungus can occur and sometimes can be hard to remove.

Factor in the cost of pressure washing and painting, removing stains from your home can be expensive.

Landscape Damage

Soil, plants, flowers and mulch located under an unguttered roof can suffer runoff during a storm. This can result in overwatering and attract ants, roaches, and termites.

A properly designed and installed gutter system keeps the soil around your house a consistent moisture level by directing the water safely away from the house.
