In standard English architecture, the term "eaves" refers to the lower edges of a roof pitch that project outward and overhang beyond the vertical exterior walls of a house or building. The primary functional purpose of the eaves is to direct rainwater runoff away from the foundation and siding, preventing water damage, mold growth, and soil erosion. Additionally, eaves often house ventilation soffits that allow fresh air to enter the attic space, helping regulate indoor temperatures and prevent moisture accumulation.
