Downspouts are a vital part of your home’s guttering system.
While a lot of attention is placed on the gutters themselves, downspouts are an essential part of the guttering system, acting as the major conduit that distributes rainwater from the gutters to the ground or a designated drainage area. The fact is that even the most efficient gutter system would be ineffective in protecting Asheville, North Carolina homes from water damage if the downspouts were not functioning properly.
As mentioned, the primary function of downspouts is to securely drain rainfall away from your home. When used in conjunction with extensions or splash blocks, downspouts can deflect water several feet away from your home, saving landscaping and preventing water from creeping back toward the foundation.
Beyond practicality, well-designed downspouts improve the overall appearance of your home. They are available in a number of materials and styles, including aluminum, copper, and vinyl, to meet performance needs as well as aesthetic goals. Regular maintenance, including cleaning and inspecting for blockages or leaks, ensures that downspouts continue to function properly.
With these things in mind, we invite you to reach out to our team at Cover and Care Roofing to explore your options when it comes to downspouts. While you might know us for our quality roofing services, we also offer quality gutter installation as well.
