As the drainage system of your roof, gutters always need to be in good shape. According to Gutters.com, the ideal life expectancy of a standard aluminum gutter is up to 30 years. Copper gutters can last up to 50 years and galvanized steel can reach 20 years or more, depending on maintenance.
Here are some things to learn about gutters and protection systems.
What You Need to Know about Gutters
Your gutter system is responsible for collecting rainwater and channeling it through proper slopes. The collected water will go through the downspouts and away from your home. This is the reason gutters need proper cleaning and maintenance regularly. Otherwise, leaves and loose debris will accumulate quickly. This can cause gutter congestion, which can lead to various problems, such as accelerating gutter wear and tear.
Damaged gutters result in basement flooding, soil erosion, and mold formation. This could also dry-rot fascia boards, soffit, and other wood parts of your roof. This winter, gutters are more vulnerable than ever. Still, it’s not just the weather, as other causes of gutter damage include leaning ladders against gutters, pest infestation, and aging.
