Why Water Is the Biggest Threat to Your Home

On a typical home with a 2,500 square foot roof, just one inch of rainfall produces roughly 1,500 gallons of water. If that water is not captured and directed away properly, it can quickly cause damage to siding, landscaping, foundations, and basements.

Smaller steady rains are just as dangerous. Continuous dripping or slow leaks can rot fascia boards, weaken trim, and allow moisture to work its way into your home over time.

Common Causes of Property Damage

Clogged or overflowing gutters
Poor gutter slope or undersized systems
Ice buildup pulling gutters away from the home
Water draining too close to the foundation

Many homes experience damage not from extreme storms, but from systems that slowly fail over time. Identifying and correcting these issues early prevents costly repairs later.

Ice and Snow Related Damage

Winter conditions create unique risks. Dripping gutters can freeze, creating icy walkways and entry areas. Ice buildup inside gutters can bend hangers, pull sections loose, or allow water behind fascia boards.

Ice dams form when snow melts on warmer sections of the roof and refreezes at colder roof edges. This process happens on homes with new gutters, old gutters, or even no gutters at all.

Heat Loss Plays a Major Role

Heat escaping from roof valleys, skylights, attic vents, cathedral ceilings, and wall-to-roof intersections causes uneven melting that contributes to ice formation.

Proper insulation and ventilation help reduce heat loss, limit ice buildup, and reduce stress on gutters and roof edges.

Preventing Damage with Proper Gutter Design

A properly installed and maintained gutter system captures water from the roof and directs it safely away from your home. Systems that clog or overflow concentrate water in the worst possible places.

Sunrise Seamless installs proven gutter protection solutions such as Leaf Terminator and Gutter Topper to keep water moving and reduce maintenance issues.
