The Anatomy of Failing Gutters:
Sign and Symptoms
Gutters should be level (with a gentle slope for the water to drain in the right direction) and flush against the house to direct water to and through downspouts. Over time, however, gutters can wear out and begin to fail. They may be separating from the home, in which case the sagging and misalignment may mean not all the roof run-off is being captured. Metal gutters will eventually rust through, causing leakage. Many gutters have lots of joints where pieces come together, and those joints can become areas where leaks occur.
If your home has gutters made from plastic, those are susceptible to cracking for all kinds of reasons, leading to leaks. If your home’s gutters are failing, it’s something you want to address right away before more serious problems crop up. If your gutters are generally in good shape, we’ll be happy to repair and address specific issues when possible. If it’s time for new gutters, we can help with that as well.
