Guttering

/ˈɡʌtərɪŋ/ noun

Definition

The system of gutters on a building; also the act of forming gutters or grooves in a surface.

Etymology

Gerund form of the verb 'gutter,' created by adding '-ing.' This noun form refers both to the physical gutter system itself and the action of creating gutters.

Kelly Says

Guttering systems are invisible heroes of buildings—without them, water damage would destroy homes in years rather than decades, yet most people never think about the metal channels silently protecting their walls.
