Q: Do gutters need downspouts?

• <div><p>For your gutters to function properly, you need downspouts (or a comparable alternative, like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/install-rain-chain.htm">a rain chain</a>) to carry water away from the roof and the foundation below. Without them, water would just pool in the gutters, leading to overflow and corrosion.</p></div>

Q: Are heated gutters effective?

• <div><p>Heated gutters are one line of defense against ice dams. The heavy block of ice forms when warm air escapes from your attic and meets the cold snow on your roof, turning snowmelt into ice. A heated gutter system should pair with <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-your-home-need-more-attic-ventilation.htm">proper attic ventilation</a> and the correct gutter design for your home. </p></div>

Q: What happens if soffits are not vented?

• <div><p>When soffits aren&rsquo;t vented, the airflow can&rsquo;t infiltrate your attic space which results in stale air trapped inside. Over time&mdash;sometimes very quickly&mdash;that trapped air can result in a moisture sink, causing rapidly growing mold issues throughout the home. You should generally avoid covering or fully closing off soffits, even in the winter months, as the ability to circulate air is far more important than the meager increase in heating costs. </p></div>

Q: Do buried downspouts freeze?

• <div><p>Buried downspouts can freeze during cold weather as cold water runs through them. If you&rsquo;ve discovered your downspouts are frozen, you can carefully pour hot water down the top of the downspout to defrost them. If that doesn&rsquo;t work, you may need to dig your downspout back up. Avoid trying to break the ice from the exterior using a hammer as this can cause cracks and damage to your downspout.</p><p>To avoid freezing the future, consider adding a heating cable to the exterior, which can adjust heat based on the surrounding temperature.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint aluminum gutters?

• <div><p>Painting exterior metal on your home, including the gutter and downspout system, is possible. However, the process requires significant preparation work so the paint sticks well and lasts, making the task worthwhile. Thorough cleaning, caulking seams, and using high-quality primer and paint are all necessary for achieving the best results. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-paint-gutters.htm">cost to paint gutters</a> averages $160 to $960.</p></div>
