The purpose of the guttering system is to collect rain from the roof area and disperse the water away from your home. Properly configured downspouts are very essential. A faulty guttering system can contribute damage to a buildings foundation, driveways, and walkways. We often see splash guards under downspouts allowing the water to pool near the foundation and could contribute to foundation damage.
