Gutters and Downspouts Collect Water Running off the Roof and Direct It Away

Make Sure That Your Gutter System Is Working as It Should Be!

Gutters and Downspouts

Gutters and downspouts are designed to collect water running off the roof and direct it away from the house's foundation. In this regard, the ground should slope away from the foundation so water doesn't pool. Water should also be carried as far as possible from the house by splash blocks, downspout extensions, flexible drains, or even underground drains.

Gutters, which are hung from the edge of the roof or attached to the fascia board, are made from vinyl, galvanized tin, aluminum, copper, and wood. Some come with baked-on enamel coatings, others are bare and must be painted. Among the many...

If Your Home Is Often Cold in the Winter and Hot in the Summer, There's a Solution!

Have Your Insulation Inspected to Ensure That Your Home Has Enough!

Making Sure Your Home Has Enough Insulation

Insulation is part of the whole roof system and designed to prevent both cold and heat from entering the house. Insulation is rated by R factors, a measurement of resistance to heat flow. Heat is energy and always moves toward cooler areas: out of the house in winter, into the house in summer.

The temperature in a well-ventilated attic ideally should only be a few degrees different than the outside temperature. Therefore to protect the house, the first place to install insulation in an attic is between ceiling joists. If using batts, place the paper or vapor ret...
