The Troubles of No Gutters and How Gutter Shutter Helps

Without gutters, a home can experience a variety of issues, such as soil erosion, damage to the landscape, pest infestation, and higher maintenance costs. Water can pool around the foundation of a home, which can lead to structural issues and damage to a home. Too much water around the fascia board can result in rotting over time, giving small critters access points in a home’s attic. Landscaping can also be ruined from oversaturation, and soil erosion can lead to damaged roots, killing flowers, bushes, and any other vegetation that would be around a home. This homeowner in Harmony, ME, wanted to avoid these issues, so they booked a free estimate with Gutter Shutter by TC Hafford Basement Systems.
