Gutters. We know we need them, and most of us have them. But do you know what you’re paying for? Do you know how they work? Here’s a quick breakdown of the ins and outs of your gutters system:

Downspout
The downspout is an important part of the gutter system. It is the vertical attachment that transports rainwater from the gutter, down and away from your home’s foundation. The water then goes into the splash block which funnels the water away from your home.
Elbow
The elbow to a gutter is similar in shape to the elbow in your arm when it’s bent. It allows for rainwater to run seamlessly from the gutter to the downspout.
Fascia
Is a horizontal, straight board that runs along the lower edge of the roof. It is fixed directly to the lower ends of the roof trusses and rafters. Fascia typically supports the lower edge of the tiles. In many cases, it holds the rain gutters as well. The fascia and soffit work to complement your rafters and provide energy efficiency for your home.
Splash block
Rainwater flowing from your downspout is running much faster and in larger quantities than raindrops on your roof. A splash block helps to interrupt the speed and amount and flow at a slower and more controlled rate into your yard. It keeps the rainwater from spitting out at the base of your home and deteriorating your foundation.
