Every aspect of your home has its own importance. Each component is there for a reason, and they’re not just for cosmetic ones. The guttering around the outside of your home is another one of those essential components necessary in order to keep your home sound and dry. 

During the colder times of the year, with the welcome of the rains, Perth’s winters, sometimes experience heavier and more consistent rains as the winter progresses. When rain hits your roof, the majority of the liquid will seep downwards into your gutter. The guttering and downpipes will then work together to keep that build-up of water away from the foundations of your home. Without the guttering, water can do some serious damage to the foundations over time.

While guttering and downpipes seem to be taken for granted as they’ve always just been part of a house, they should absolutely be cared for and maintained properly.  For peace of mind, why not give Arco Roofing, Perth a call for all your gutter and downpipe repairs. 

The Dangers Of Old Guttering & Downpipes 

As we’ve just touched on, poor guttering would lead to issues to the likes of the overall foundation. Water can get into the tight cracks and soften everything, weakening your home in the process. Having an old and damaged gutter system can also lead to roof damage. 

Pest and mosquitoes can be attracted to pools of water, too, so that’s another reason to keep an eye on your gutters and ensure they are doing their job.

How To Improve Your Guttering

The simplest and most straightforward way of improving your guttering is through regular checks. As time gets on, leaves and small branches fall into the gutter and have a tendency to clog things up.
