Most homes have a standard type of gutter system that runs along the roof of the home.

Once the rain gutter system has caught the water it then feeds the water to down another pipe that is a part of the rain gutter system. The pipe leads the water straight down to the ground. Now, trapped rain water does not only cause damage to the roof of the home.
