Rogers Roofing, one of the top roofing companies in northwest Indiana and Chicago, strongly recommends that homeowners have gutters installed in their homes. But what is their purpose, and why do you need to add them in your home? Rogers Roofing answers some of the FAQs about gutters and their importance:What is a gutter?
A gutter is a long hollow device made from a variety of materials like cast iron, lead, galvanized steel, painted steel, copper, painted aluminum, and PVC (and other plastics). It is attached to the edges of a roof to catch rain and carry the rainwater away from the structure.
Why do we need it?
Water damage is the main reason you need gutters in your home. A gutter system prevents water damage on your walls, siding, as well as your soffit and fascia. It can also protect your garden and landscaping from soil erosion and your basement from getting flooded.

Gutter protection is a system used to protect your gutters and downspouts by preventing leaves, twigs, and other debris from clogging the gutters. Most homeowners love this product as it virtually eliminates their need to get on a ladder several times a year to clean out the gutters.
