Gutters are necessary for protecting your home from a multitude of issues that could potentially damage not only the land around your home but the health of your foundation as well. Gutters protect your foundation by keeping water from pooling, leading to cracks and the weakening of the structural integrity of your foundation. Without gutters, your roof is susceptible to ice damage, and any landscaping around your home will be ruined.
