Gutter systems are designed to protect your home’s structural integrity by directing water off your roof and away from your foundation. For them to perform at their peak, it’s important to keep them clog- and damage-free. Gutter Helmet® of Minnesota, the trusted provider of the best rain gutter guard, explains more:
Common Gutter Problems
Depending on your local climate and natural surroundings, your gutters require frequent maintenance. Otherwise, your home may become an easy target for costly damage. Be sure to address these common gutter problems:
-
Gutters Pulling Away From the House. Sagging gutters need to be repaired immediately as they can collapse any time. Their fasteners may have already backed out of the wood or they’re too distant from each other to brace the weight of the system. Their hangers may have also worn off. These components need replacement.
-
Clogging. Leaves, dirt, twigs, and other debris can collect inside the system over time, resulting in clogs. Once this happens, rainwater will overflow and damage the vulnerable parts of your exterior. Your foundation may sustain cracks, your fascia may rot, and your roof may become leaky. That said, it’s vital to clean your gutters at least twice a year, preferably during spring and fall, and after a storm.
-
Holes and Leaks. Apart from old age, holes in the gutters imply that standing water has developed rust in some areas. Small holes can be fixed with a sealant, while larger ones can be fixed with a patch. If the extent of damage is severe, however, it’s best to replace the entire gutter system.
