Signs to get your guttering & spouting system replaced or repaired

An excellent guttering job is important to keep rainwater away from your exterior walls, window frames, doors and foundation. Though not apparent at first, untreated gutter leaks can compromise your home’s structural integrity. To help you diagnose early signs of gutter failure and faulty gutter guard systems, here are some signs to look out for.

• A small crack may not be a big issue at present, but in the future it will be. Have it repaired ASAP and consider a gutter protection service near you.
• Gutter paints can withstand water and wear for a very long time. If you notice peeling paints and rusty spots, then it’s more likely a sign of water not being spouted properly.
• Water marks beneath the gutter are signs that water is either overflowing or leaking. This may be due to clogs, accumulated leaves or huge cracks. Consider installing gutter leaf guard systems or gutter splash guards to solve the issue.
• Mildew and puddles of water near the foundation are signs that your gutsy gutter is not doing its job. This may be a design issue or just clogs in certain parts of the system.
• Sagging gutters scream “replace me with a new gutter or best gutter guard system fast!”. Gutters with this problem are filled with stagnant water and debris (requiring a major overhaul pronto).
