A roof system's component known as an eavestrough is a channel, funnel or gutter that gathers and directs rainwater shed by the roof. A rain gutter's primary function is to safeguard a building's foundation by directing rainfall away from the ground. Additionally, they aid in minimizing erosion, stop leaks from developing in crawl spaces and basements, shield painted surfaces from water damage and offer a way to store rainwater for later use.

The vitally crucial task of collecting rainwater from your roof and transporting it to downspouts, where it is securely transported away to drains, or a rain barrel and then into drains, is performed by eavestroughs, or gutters as they are frequently known. Although the eavestroughs themselves require little maintenance, in order for them to work effectively, you must clear out your eavestroughs and drain covers.

​

If the eavestrough on your home is clogged, which it will inevitably be if there are trees nearby and they are not cleaned out on a regular basis, all kinds of issues can arise, such as water running down the walls of your house, causing dampness in the walls as well as unsightly staining of the exterior or, worse yet, the removal of plaster or rotting boards.

​

There are a few products available that can help keep your gutters clear of leaves, like mesh covers that clip into place and prevent leaves from entering, but nature isn't usually so easily defeated and if the leaves build up on the outside of the mesh, the end result will be the same because the rain water will likely be diverted before it can get into the guttering, creating the same problem.

​

Unfortunately, the only effective means of prevention is regular gutter maintenance.

​

The drainage in your garden also apply in this situation. Although most people are unable to inspect underground drains, they can make sure that any surface drains are kept clear of obstructions like leaves and debris, remove the grilles occasionally to clean them, and most importantly, pour some water down the drain to ensure that it is draining away effectively. There should never be a problem with water draining away because underground drains have relatively big diameters. If it doesn't, there's probably a bigger issue at hand.
