• Inevitably, over time, your rain gutters fill up
  with leaves, twigs, and other debris. When they
  become too full, they can stop effectively
  preventing water damage and start facilitating
  it. Clogged gutters can cause water to run down
  the side of the building, potentially harming the
  walls of the building. They can also cause leaky
  roofs.

• In addition to cleaning out your rain gutters,
  its important to ensure that your downspouts end
  at least five feet, if not more, away from your
  home or business. If they arent at least five
  feet away, they will cause water to pool around
  the foundation of your house, putting it at risk
  for structural damage. If your downspouts are too
  short, consider looking into purchasing downspout
  extensions.

• Caulking is important because it helps seal gaps
  and prevent water from seeping into places it
  shouldnt be. Check your caulking often,
  especially in areas where it is exposed to water
  regularly. If your caulking is cracked, promptly
  repair it so it can continue preventing water
  damage.
