Is It Time to Update Your Gutters?

Rain gutters typically need to be replaced once every 20 years. The following signs will let you know that it’s time to consider either repair or replacement:

Excessive leaks: Gutters wear out and develop leaks over time. A small leak can be patched by a professional, but consistent or varied leaks imply that your entire gutter system is ready to be replaced.
Rusty patches: The process of oxidation corrodes and weakens your gutters. Eventually, every rusty patch will turn into a hole. Rust can be prevented by repainting your gutters consistently, but once it sets in, the gutters should be replaced as soon as possible.
Bent or sagging pipes: For your gutters to work correctly, they need to be in the correct shape. If your gutters keep sagging or bending away from the side of your house, a replacement might be your best option.
Gaps between gutters: Most gutter systems are composed of several attached pipes. As gutters get older, some of the pipes warp or swell; this breaks the connection and lets water leak from the space in between. Usually, the easiest solution is to replace all or most of the system.
Water damage or mold: Even though they’re made from coated plastic or metal, gutters are still susceptible to the symptoms of water damage. If you notice any areas that are eroded or developing mold, afresh gutter system might be in order.

The Best Way to Protect Your Roof

Your gutter system is more important to your home’s structure than you realize. A great gutter system drains water from your roof and funnels it away, preventing moisture damage to your roof and it's underlying layers.

If your gutters start showing signs of damage, you should call a professional as soon as possible. When water damage is involved, a small repair can quickly turn into a full-scale replacement.
