Your gutters work hard to protect your home, but over time, they wear out. Ignoring failing gutters can lead to costly water damage. Here’s how to know when it’s time for a replacement.
1️⃣ Cracks or Splits
Small cracks may seem minor, but they quickly grow, leading to leaks and structural failure. Inspect your gutters regularly for visible damage.
2️⃣ Peeling Paint or Rust
Gutters are coated to withstand the elements. If you notice peeling paint or rust, it’s a sign that water is not draining properly and is causing corrosion.
3️⃣ Water Pooling Around the Foundation
If water collects near your home’s foundation, your gutters may be clogged, misaligned, or failing. This can lead to cracks and costly foundation repairs.
4️⃣ Sagging or Pulling Away
Gutters should remain securely attached to the fascia. If they’re sagging or pulling away, it indicates loose brackets or excessive weight from debris buildup.
5️⃣ Frequent Clogs or Overflowing Water
If your gutters frequently clog despite cleaning, they may be too narrow or improperly installed. Upgrading to a larger, seamless system can improve drainage.
