That was a lot of rain last night Vermont!
This post is a little reminder to check those gutters.
Did you know just a few inches of rain falling on the roof of a house can produce several thousand gallons of water runoff. This runoff must be channeled away from the home's foundation. Otherwise, the excess water can quickly saturate the soil surrounding the building and wick through the foundation to the interior.
I always explain to my clients the importance of a properly functioning gutter system, and the potential problems that an undersized or damaged system can create.
You should always make sure that the guttering system is adequately sized to prevent runoff (water running down the roof splashing over the gutter).
that the gutters are clear of debris, free of rust, cracks and holes in order to prevent leaking; and
that the downspouts divert water 4 to 6 feet away from the home's foundation.
