gutter systems

Rainwater collection troughs

Gutter systems are the channels and connected components that collect rainwater from a roof and direct it away from a building's foundation.

The system typically includes gutters along the roofline, downspouts carrying water to ground level, and sometimes extensions or drainage features.

We need to clean the gutter system before the rainy season.

Contractors often use the full phrase when distinguishing complete installations from individual components.
