Gutter installation in Columbus, Ohio

New gutter installation and gutter protection in Columbus, Ohio, from Wingler Construction & Remodeling. Gutters are a pain. When you're up on a ladder cleaning them out for the hundredth time, you may be wondering why a house even needs gutters. While this is a totally valid question, gutters are actually very important to the maintenance of your entire home.

How do gutters work?

When water isn't properly diverted away from your home, costly problems can develop. Gutters move water away from your home so the structure is protected from potential damage, such as:

• Leaks and/or flooded basements and crawlspaces
• Cracked, uneven, or damaged foundation
• Soil erosion around the home (which can lead to foundation damage)
• Rotting fascia boards at the roofline
• Mold and mildew growth
• Staining on the exterior of the home, siding, or masonry
• Settling and cracking of sidewalks, driveways, and other concrete surfaces

Proper gutter installation protects your home from water damage

You can avoid damages and other problems by making sure gutters are installed around your entire home and the downspouts are directing water at least three feet away from the base of the building.

Keep your gutters clean

The key to proper gutter maintenance is to keep them clear and free-flowing because gutters can be a lot of work unless they are protected. If your gutters look more like a garden instead of a system designed to protect your home from water damage, then you already know one of the reasons why gutter guards can be important. Plants and small trees belong in the yard, not on your roof.

Why is gutter protection important?

Unprotected gutters can collect debris falling from surrounding trees and carried on the wind. No matter where you live, nature’s elements can find a way into your gutters, causing serious problems. Gutter protection in is especially important because of the wide variety of weather conditions we get in central Ohio.

When a gutter is clogged, one rainfall and it can fill with water, overflow, and becomes totally useless. Issues caused by debris collecting in your gutters include:

• Water overflow, leading to foundation damage and soil erosion
• Build-up of dry debris, which creates a fire hazard
• Water leaking into your attic and walls
• Standing water, which creates the perfect home for mosquitos
• Moisture problems that encourage mold growth and termite/pest infestation

How often should I clean my gutters?

Cleaning your gutters regularly can help stop potential problems, but many people don’t want to climb a tall ladder several times a year to do it. In fact, gutter cleaning is notoriously one of the worst outdoor chores.
