joel-t/iStockphoto Rain chains are a unique and practical way to protect your home from rainwater. Sometimes called gutter chains, these chain links, cups or funnels move rainwater from your rooftop to the ground. In the right climate, a rain chain can be an excellent alternative to a downspout. Replacing downspouts with rain chains can also add curb appeal, help with water conservation, and be the perfect addition to your home’s gutter and gutter guard system.
