Most home and property owners in Zimbabwe are always asking if it is necessary to install rain gutters on their roofs. Rain gutters are the first line of defence for your house against the pelting rain which can damage your house or property.
Gutters are responsible for collecting rain-water from the roof and channelling it away from your house into an existing drainage system.
Here is why you should install Rain Gutters:
To prevent damage
For a house without gutters, heavy rain, flowing down house walls to the ground below, can cause a great deal of damage. At the very least, it messes the paint and wriggles into cracks, contributing to eventual, long-term decay.
Rain gutters protect your foundation, siding, doors, windows, roof, fascia, soffit, and decorative landscaping.
Water harvesting
Using rain gutters for water harvesting is one of the most overlooked benefits of gutters that can be utilised by home and property owners.
If you are living in Zimbabwe, chances are high that you`ve heard or even facing water shortages due to factors and events beyond your control.
You can simply connect your gutters to your tanks so that when the rain comes, rain water collected from your roof can be directed to your tanks and stored for later use. (Read more about water harvesting)
