Gutters are often exposed to heat, snow and rain. This combination could take a toll on your gutter system and cause issues to form that would hinder its job of draining rainwater from the roof surface. If your gutters have started to fail, you need to replace them.
MR. FIX-IT™ Virginia, one of the trusted gutter guard systems installer, discusses the major gutter problems that point to the need for total replacement.
1. Sagging Gutters
When you notice your gutters sag or pull away from your home, it means your gutters are in need of replacement. They cannot hold a large volume of rainwater anymore since the screws keeping them secured at the edge of your roof are compromised. You can choose to repair them as a temporary fix, but you should consider replacing your gutters.
2. Rust Formation
Rusty gutters means that water can seep through them and into your landscaping. When you see rust on your gutters, it’s time to install a new ones made with quality materials.
3. Home Foundation Issues
Your gutters won’t only cause water damage in your home, but also on the ground your home is built. If you find cracks forming on your walls, there may be a problem with the way your gutters are draining rainwater. You should also have a downspout extender to direct rainwater several inches away from your house foundation.
