Whether your house sits on a basement or a slab, excess water will cause damage. Slabs will crack and foundations will leak and crack (flooding your basement). Kiss your property value goodbye. Water around the ground of your house can pose a serious threat to your foundation.

You might not think that the soil around your house is vulnerable to too much water. For house foundations and the surrounding soil, a healthy amount of water flow can quickly become excessive, and it’s up to the gutter system to control that balance. When the areas around your foundation become saturated, the soil is likely to expand, eventually putting pressure on the foundation of your house and pushing it inward. Too much water can also erode soil away, changing the composition of the areas around your foundation and disrupting its sturdiness within the ground. This could lead to shifts in the foundation. In both cases, it’s caused by water, and it will be detrimental to your home.

Are you aware of the animals that could be getting inside your house? And how they could get there? Gutters play a surprisingly important role in keeping away a variety of pests and critters from penetrating into your house. The absence of gutters sets any house up for a potential invasion.

The problem starts with too much water. Too much water runs off the roof and splashes down the house onto the ground without gutters. Over time, too much water leads to issues like rotting fascia, rotting trim, erosion of soil, or damaged foundation. When the materials comprising are rotted or worn down from the water, they become an easier target for eager animals to break through and take up residence inside.

Ultimately, it’s about fortifying your home’s elements against water and debris. 53% of homeowners are concerned about pests. Based on how quickly they can get into a house, the other 47% should also be concerned. Each year in the winter, rodents invade an estimated 21 million homes in the U.S.

Squirrels can chew through the fascia. What does that have to do with gutters? Gutters tend to hang from the fascia board, so their very presence creates a physical barrier between the squirrel and the point of entry. But without gutters, water and the elements can rot your fascia, soffit, and trim gradually over time. That will make those surfaces more vulnerable to squirrels chewing through to gain an access point. On average, they need only 2.5 inches of space to penetrate. You may find rodents taking up residence in your attic without that defense.

Not all critters are as persistent as squirrels, but if there is weakness in your fascia board or other areas near your roof, then expect birds and bats to also take interest in what your attic has to offer.

Your basement is also vulnerable to animal intrusion. Without gutters, water never makes it very far from your home. Often it will land directly below where your roof ends and stand in pools unless there is a natural slope present. That high volume of water can create problems. The first main issue around your foundation is erosion; water disrupts the soil and washes material away that would otherwise be solidly in place. The second issue is ice. If water remains stagnant around your house, it can freeze and put pressure on your foundation. In both cases, the structural integrity of your house is less than 100 percent and becomes more vulnerable to external intrusion. Raccoons, mice, and rats are all likely candidates for weaseling their way into a vulnerable basement.

Forgetting the attic or basement, homeowners without gutters could still have their hands full with standing pools of water around the home. Aside from the general eyesore, standing pools of water are a breeding ground for insects and bacteria. The most common inhabitants of stagnant water in a backyard are mosquitoes, and with mosquitoes comes the threat of diseases.
