We receive approximately 3107 mm of rainfall annually, which is quite large compared to many other regions on earth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rainwater though life-giving and pure, also have a devastating toll on our houses and other buildings. Bad roofing can cause leakages and even lead to structural disintegrity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continuous downpours can lead to waterlogging on the roofs of homes, leading to even worse matters like water leakages inside our homes. Also, normal roofings often allow rainwater to flow along the walls and hence damage the walls and the paint job of your house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It can also lead to soil erosion. Continuously falling water can also damage any tiles and interlocks used. \u00a0The rainwater collected on roofs can also cause algae to form on roofs. It can also help mosquitos lay eggs and spread thus creating health problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_rainwater_gutter\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is a rainwater gutter?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-303 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.roofings.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/gutter-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roofings.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/gutter-2.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.roofings.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/gutter-2-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A rainwater gutter uses PVC pipes to create a way for water to flow. The water flows into them from your terrace or roofing tiles and flows through these pipes. Now they reach the potential downspout where they flow harmlessly away. These rainwater gutters are made up of lightweight but sturdy PVC pipes that can last a long time and help prevent damage to your homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_rainwater_gutter_help\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does rainwater gutter help?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rainwater gutter often helps houses by steadily letting the water slowly down the pipes instead of getting collected on rooftops. It helps to avoid damage to your roofs to a great extend causing rot, disintegration, and molding of shingles, fascia, soffit, and masonry. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It prevents moisture from getting through windows, condensing and damaging sills and interior walls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These systems, installed along the edges of roofs create passages for rainwater to flow along naturally from your rooftops, directing them down into your downspouts. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are the vertical sections that take the water from your roofs and brings it to the ground level. Strong rains can create fast-falling water from rooftops which can sometimes even damage the foundation of your house over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Price_of_Rain_gutter\"><\/span>What is the Price of Rain gutter?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The average price for Rain water gutters is around 185 &#8211; 200 \/meter. This cost is for the rain gutter pipe only. There will be additional accessories like center drop, end caps, downspout, inner corner, outer corner, clamps etc.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_I_know_before_Installing\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What should I know before Installing?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-304 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.roofings.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/gutter1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roofings.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/gutter1.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.roofings.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/gutter1-245x300.jpg 245w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rainwater gutters are quite easy to install and easily go along with the different types of roofing solutions used in South India. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They are quite easy to install with bare minimum modifications to the existing infrastructure. The pipes used are made of the highest quality materials so they last long and look premium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There are a few issues though with rainwater gutters. If you live in a place with lots of trees, there is a chance that the gutters may get filled up eventually by leaves and get blocked. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This may be a problem but one which has an easy solution. You just have to clean and verify your gutter twice or thrice a year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you do this you will be fine. Sometimes, gutters can be noisy if the gutters are blocked. So it is quite necessary that you clean your gutters often.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_price_of_rainwater_gutter_in_India\"><\/span>What is the price of rainwater gutter in India?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The average price of UPVC rain water gutters in kerala is Rs. 190 per meter.
