the gutters collect a majority of the water that falls on your home's roof

then it navigates to a longer gutter that runs down the side/front of your home; the point being that it pushes water far away from your house so it does not soak up.

If it soaks up and you have a basement it can cause it to flood by coming in through your basement windows or even through porous foundation

I hate these drat gutters. When it gets windy here (30mph+ usually), the drat things will vibrate and make the most godawful noise. They're properly braced. Not much I can do but take them down. :effort:

I had this problem too. Replaced all the gutter nails with gutter screws; it took care of it!

Nice and cheap but I did almost die once or twice (still worth it).
