Gutters - Fascia Astroz Construction can help! 
Downspouts are typically rectangular and of the same material as the gutter or scupper. Downspouts direct water away from your foundation! Proper water management around the foundation of your building or home can be very effective at keeping the water from entering your basement. Back fill any low areas, and slope the ground away from the foundation. The most serious problem with thunderstorms is downspouts that discharge the water next to the foundation!  Without gutters or downspouts, all roof water will be directed to the foundation, creating the potential for flooding. The gutter/downspout systems are designed to carry water away from the house, not to the foundation. Making sure that your downspout elbow/extension is always attached and free of debris will help unnecessary flooding.Regarding the maintenance of your gutters, here are some things to know: Your gutter should be cleaned out at least ONCE a year. Dirt, leaves, tree limbs and other debris slowly decay guttering and prevent proper water drainage. If you are replacing your gutter, it's probably because you did not have it cleaned on a regular basis. |
