Rainwater management is one of the most overlooked parts of home protection until something starts going wrong. Most homeowners do not think much about gutters when they are working properly. Water flows off the roof, moves through the gutter system, and drains away from the home with very little attention. But when that system begins to fail, the warning signs often show up in places that seem unrelated at first, such as stained siding, landscape erosion, roof edge damage, mildew near the foundation, or water pooling where it should not.
