A roof gutter is simply called a gutter.

The best type of gutter will vary depending on the specific needs and conditions of the building and the area. At Blue Monkey Roofing, we’ll recommend the best option for your specific needs.

Gutters are necessary to redirect rainwater away from the building’s foundation to prevent water damage.

Cleaning gutters is a simple way to ensure that they are functioning properly and should be performed at least once a year for regular maintenance. Our professionals use a pressure washer to remove debris that prevents the flow of water. By preventing clogs, you can also extend the life of your gutters!

The term gutter can refer to a wide variety of things, including an eavestrough! The terms can be interchangeable, but an eavestrough is what is generally thought of when referring to a gutter. The eavestrough is installed onto the eave of a home to collect rainwater and divert it away from the home. A gutter can also refer to a drainage canal or ditch.

If you notice that there’s an eroded trough where the eaves of your house hang over the lawn or garden, you probably need gutters! This erosion can cause all kinds of foundation problems, and by diverting the water away from the foundation you can save yourself from costly repairs.

Having gutters installed on your home has plenty of benefits, including the mitigation of erosion near the foundation of your home. This is the single most important reason for gutters! Unfortunately, gutters can affect your exterior aesthetic, get clogged, and break. Improper installation can even lead to water intrusion! With the proper installation and high-quality materials, we recommend installing a gutter system on almost every home to prevent major issues down the road.
