1. What is rain gutter?rain gutters

A rain gutter l is a component of a water discharge 

system for a building. It is necessary to prevent water 

dripping or flowing off roofs in an uncontrolled manner 

for several reasons: to prevent it damaging the walls, 

drenching persons standing below or entering the 

building, and to direct the water to a suitable disposal 

site where it will not damage the foundations of the building. In the case of a flat roof, removal of water is essential to prevent water ingress and to prevent a build-up of excessive weight.


2. What is the purpose of a rain gutter?

Gutters prevent water ingress into the fabric of the building by channeling the rainwater away from the exterior of the walls and their foundations. Water running down the walls causes dampness in the affected rooms and provides a favorable environment for growth of mould, and wet rot in timber.

Water collected by a rain gutter is fed, usually via a downpipe, from the roof edge to the base of the building where it is either discharged or collected. The down pipe can terminate in a shoe and discharge directly onto the surface. Alternatively it would connect via a gulley (u-bend) with 50mm water seal to a combined drain. Water from rain gutters may be harvested in a rain barrel or a cistern.

3. What will happen if a house does not have rain gutters installed?

It will encounter the following problems:

A. Damage to exterior walls, eaves and floors

If there is no rain gutter, when it rains, part of the rainwater will flow from the roof to the ground along 

the eaves and outer walls. Due to being in a wet state 

for a long time, the eaves, outer walls and ground will 

be seriously damaged.


B. Foundation damage

Without gutters, rainwater can collect around the foundation of your home and even seep into the foundation itself. Over time, this concrete slab wears 

down and cracks due to the constant intrusion of rainwater. The soil around the foundation is also 

loosened due to long-term water accumulation.


C. Mold growth

A house without rain gutters will cause the house 

itself and its surroundings to be in a humid state for a 

long time, causing mold to grow easily including the eaves, exterior walls, ground, attic and basement, which will have a certain impact on the health of children and adults. Common Problems include respiratory infections, allergies and asthma.
