Gutters are the unsung hero of your home. Many homeowners neglect or completely forget about gutters, but they are an essential part of your roofing system. The purpose of gutters, as you probably know, is to catch and redirect water being drained from your roof away from your home. If your home didn’t have gutters, or if they’re damaged, you could be in serious trouble.
