What Do They Do?<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Most people would think that the purpose of rain gutters it to protect the side of their home, but actually it\u2019s to protect the home\u2019s foundation by channeling the water away from the foundation. If it was otherwise, the water that\u2019s running off the roof will dig a ditch within the sides of the foundation, and as more water soaks through the ground, water could potentially work through the foundation. If you choose not to install rain gutters, excavators will take extra care, so all sides slope away from your home; however, this isn\u2019t as effective as installing rain gutters.<\/p>\n

The gutters are also helpful for protecting the exterior of your modular home, especially from back splash stain and rot. They also help shield your landscaping as well as reduce erosion. Gutters can protect windows and doors from water infiltration. Gutters are especially helpful for preventing leaks around thresholds of exterior doors. Without the gutters, the doors on the exterior will be pounded with the pouring rain during heavy storms.<\/p>\n

Homes without gutters are much more likely to have a leaky exterior door or a damp (or flooded) basement. Perhaps even both!<\/p>\n
