Maintaining the channels that direct water away from a building’s foundation and exterior surfaces involves options ranging from cosmetic enhancement to complete renewal. Addressing the condition of these components is crucial for preserving structural integrity and preventing water damage.
Properly functioning water channels protect a building’s foundation, siding, and landscaping from erosion and water-related deterioration. Historically, these systems were crafted from wood, evolving to more durable materials like galvanized steel and aluminum to extend lifespan and reduce maintenance needs.
