Q. What exactly is
a rain gutter? |
|
A. A rain gutter (also
known as eavestrough, guttering or just gutter) is a
narrow channel, or trough, forming the component of a
roof system which collects and diverts rainwater shed by the roof. |
|
Q. Why does the
water need to be diverted? |
|
A. In many buildings, the purpose
of this diversion is to prevent drips off the roof edges. These diversions
can help to minimize structural damage over time to the walls of a building. However, in
others, the purpose is also to harvest rainwater, for household or garden
use. |
