You Gutters Might Need to be Replaced If

Noticeable Holes or Cracks

If you can see holes or cracks in any part of your gutter or drain, this means that it’s time to replace your gutter. Over time, many gutter materials will begin to crack or fall apart as normal wear-and-tear takes place. It’s essential to perform routine inspections by walking around your home to look for leaks or holes.

Signs of Improper Drainage

If you notice water overflowing from your gutters away from the drainage area, this might indicate that the gutter is damaged. To see this, you’ll most likely need to inspect the gutter when it’s raining. In some cases, improper drainage might also indicate that leaves and other debris have clogged your gutter.

Gutters Are No Longer Secure on Your House

If you notice that your gutters are sagging, buckling, or separating from the external frame of your home, this is a clear indication that something’s wrong. Not only does this reduce the functionality of the gutters, but it can also begin to place stress on your home’s structure and damage your property.

This problem can also be a sign that your gutters are full of leaves or other debris. Using an expert contractor to assess the issue can help you determine if you need to replace the entire system or re-secure your current gutter.

Water is Collecting Around the Edge of Your Home

The purpose of a gutter and drainage system is to direct roof water away from your home. If you notice that water is collecting around the base of your home, this means that your gutter system is leaking or operating incorrectly. This issue can cause problems for your foundation and other structural components. You must quickly act if you notice an accumulation of water.

Signs of Water and Mold in Your Basement

If you have a basement in your home, signs of water and mold can be a clear indicator that your gutter system is not functioning correctly.
