Your gutters get a lot of action, so it’s important to keep up with their upkeep. Below are five telltale signs that you need gutter repair.
If your gutters have developed leaks, it can be due to corrosion or branches puncturing holes. Regardless of the cause, it’s important to solve the leak fast. As soon as you notice a leak, contact Winston’s Gutter Service, and we’ll take care of it.
Your gutters are supposed to stay attached to the fascia boards. If you notice your gutters pulling away from the fascia, then they will start to droop or sag over time. When this happens, water can leak down the walls of your home or even inside your home.
Downspouts are designed to flow water away from your home. If your downspouts aren’t positioned correctly, then you could end up with a sizable puddle of water collecting around your foundation.
Rust almost always indicates that there is standing water inside your gutters. If your gutters are harboring copious amounts of water, the issue can almost always be traced back to bad pitching.
Putting your gutters on the back burner can lead to some serious outcomes. Below is what can happen if you ignore a malfunctioning gutter system:
Water that collects in your gutters or around your home can lead to foul stenches. These odors are typically caused by mold growth and bacteria.
Standing water is like a beacon for insects. If you notice a mosquito problem, there could be excess water in your gutters. In contrast, clogged gutters can attract small critters like squirrels and mice.
Leaks and floods jeopardize your home’s structure. If excess water collects near your home’s foundation, water causes slabs to crack, impacting the integrity of your home.
Water that continues to leak out of your gutters can cause your soffits and fascia to rot. Not only will this look visually unappealing, but it puts your household at risk.
