List of Similarities
- 1Both involve the movement of water away from a building or area.
- 2Both can prevent water damage to buildings and infrastructure.
- 3Both require proper installation and maintenance to function effectively.
- 4Both can be affected by weather conditions, such as heavy rain or snow.
What is the difference?
- 1Location: Guttering is typically located on the roof of a building, while drainage is located at ground level or below.
- 2Function: Guttering collects and diverts rainwater from the roof, while drainage carries water away from the ground or lower levels of a building.
- 3Design: Guttering is often visible and can be customized for aesthetic purposes, while drainage is usually hidden and designed for functionality.
- 4Maintenance: Guttering requires regular cleaning to prevent clogging, while drainage may require more extensive maintenance to prevent damage or blockages.
- 5Scope: Guttering is a smaller-scale system that only covers the roof of a building, while drainage can cover a larger area and may involve multiple pipes and channels.
Remember this!
Guttering and drainage are both systems designed to move water away from a building or area to prevent water damage. However, guttering is specifically designed for the roof of a building and collects rainwater, while drainage is located at ground level or below and carries water away from the building or area. Guttering requires regular cleaning to prevent clogging, while drainage may require more extensive maintenance to prevent damage or blockages.
