There has been quite a bit of talk lately about gutters here on Active Rain. I have even blogged about them as well. The need and the reasoning for having them is unquestionable. We all know that letting water pour off of your roof and splash onto the soil that is the foundation of your home is not a good idea. In this case, the gutters were installed, but they really were totally ineffective, ok I will say it... useless!
If they are not installed and pitched correctly they will not do the job as intended for the homeowner. Here, you can see that they are too low, the flow of water running down the valleys of the clay tiles is still much higher than the upper outside lip of the gutter. So, you know where the water is going, right? Right over the top to the driveway below.
So the poor homeowner built dams at the corners of his garage door jambs to keep the water that was flooding his driveway when it rains hard from going into his garage.
I'm pretty sure I would be calling the gutter guy back out to the house... "Uhhh, buddy, the gutters aren't working"
?
They could raise the level of the gutters, or install a splash guard on the outer edge of the gutter to stop the deluge...?
?
