Gutters are a necessity on every home in Texas. No one wants a waterfall pouring over their front door, but did you know that it's important for the water landing on your roof to flow to the correct areas of your homes foundation? Most homes in Texas are built on a thick layer of clay that expands when it's wet and contracts when its dry. Gutters will help divert the water from your roof to a downspout placed where your homes foundation needs water most. Keep in mind to water around your homes foundation during dry months to prevent foundation issues in the future.
