Copper rain gutters prevent rainwater from accumulating on your house roof. The rainwater that falls on the house roof reaches the copper rain gutters, which help the water move through the down pipe, and finally falls into a main sewer, rainwater tank, storm water pit, or event on the ground itself.

There are many types of gutters that can be installed, and can also be made from other materials such as aluminum, plastic, vinyl or even galvanized steel. Gutters can also be made from cedar, wood, rubber or slate.

Copper rain gutters and other types of gutters must be maintained regularly to prevent structural damages to your home. Gutters are prone to collecting leaves, and are sometimes used as a foundation for animals to build nests or homes on. In order to check if there are blockages in your copper rain gutters, you can use a hose to run water thorough the gutters itself, and see whether water flows through it easily. If any recent repairs on your roof have been performed, ensure that any debris are cleared out, so that it does not go into your gutters and cause any blockages.

You may wish to purchase a gutter brush, which can be installed within the sides of your entire gutter to help block leaves, debris, tree branches, and even keep certain rodents from building homes on them. Gutter brushes are bendable to fit all shapes and types of gutters.

Copper rain gutters are one of the most expensive types of gutters, and must be assembled by a person with expert knowledge on gutters. In addition, copper rain gutters are manufactured in sections with the use of gutter machines, and as such are prone to cause leaks especially when used in the long term.

When considering the purchase of copper rain gutters, it may be important to consider the type of climate or weather that is experienced in the state where you live in, aside from the cost. It may be worthwhile to ask your gutter supply company to recommend the best type of gutter that can be used in the area where you live.
