Gutters will catch the rainfall and divert it. I prefer vinyl gutters because they are durable and assemble by snapping the pieces together.

Last night, I noticed that there was ice forming on the side of my house. Further investigation revealed that one of the main downspouts was frozen, which I'm guessing caused a nice chain reaction ...

Common gutter repairs include caulking or patching a hole or leak, splicing a small section where there is damage, repairing a seam at a connection or replacing a downspout or elbow.
