That’s absolutely correct! Gutters and downspouts work together to collect rainwater from your roof and channel it safely away from your home’s foundation. This simple system plays a crucial role in preventing a lot of potential water damage. Is there anything else you’d like to know about how gutters and downspouts function?
- Overflowing gutters can be caused by a simple clog
