When Should You Replace Gutters?
Gutters are the superheroes that will protect your home against water damage by conducting rainwater away from your property's structure and roof. Over time, even well-maintained gutters will wear down and need replacement.
Look out for these signs that suggest it's time for gutter replacement:
- Look for any visible gutter damage, such as cracks, holes, or rust spots.
- Gutters pulling away from the roofline indicate structural damage.
- Rust or peeling paint on your gutters is a clear sign of corrosion.
- After rainfall, check if water is pooling around your home's foundation instead of flowing through the gutters.
- Moisture from malfunctioning gutters can lead to mold growth.
- If you find yourself frequently dealing with gutter clogs despite regular cleaning, it may be time for an upgrade.
- If your gutters are approaching or exceeding their lifespan (typically 20-30 years).
