Rain gutters have a longer story than most people think.
From clay drains in ancient cities, to stone gargoyles on Gothic cathedrals, to cast iron on Victorian homes, people have always looked for ways to guide rain away from buildings.
Today’s seamless aluminum gutters and modern guards grew out of all that trial and error. The goal never changed: keep water away from walls and foundation.
Next time it rains, watch how the water moves around your home. A quick look at your gutters and downspouts can help protect your house for years to come.
