When it rains here, it really comes down. We put eavestroughs all around our Designer Gardenia (2,694 sq. ft. footprint) to keep moisture (somewhat) away from the house. Wet can equate to mold, mildew, moss, bug incubation, etc. Another reason is that our windows were always a mess from the rain. I can't say that it helped all that much, but some. The third reason was that water splashed dirt and debris onto the house. The fourth reason, water splashing significantly into the lanai. The cost was very reasonable - $563. Hills from Belleview did the job and were excellent.
