Do I Really Need Gutters in Texas?

Texas isn’t just hot — it’s unpredictable. Sudden downpours, long droughts, and shifting clay soil create a perfect storm for foundation damage if your home lacks proper drainage. That’s where gutters come in.

If your home doesn’t have gutters, you’re gambling with your foundation.

Why Gutters Are Essential in Texas

• Heavy Rain Events: Even 30 minutes of Texas rain can dump thousands of gallons off your roof — directly against your slab.
• Expansive Soil: Our soil shrinks when dry and expands when wet. Uneven moisture = slab cracks.
• Landscaping Erosion: No gutters means washed-out beds, bare patches, and water pooling.

New Homes Aren’t Safe Either

Builders often skip gutters to save cost. If your house was built in the last 5–10 years, check for visible runoff stains, erosion near the base, or soft spots after rain. These are signs it’s time.
