Maintaining your gutter system is no easy task, but it’s one that must be done in order to keep your home and family safe. With gutters being outdoors and high up, we know it’s easy for them to be out-of-sight, out-of-mind, which is why we’ve compiled this list of the six telltale signs that gutter repairs are in order.
1. Cracks and/or Rust - These two signs of gutter aging go hand-in-hand. When water seeps into cracks, rust will begin to form and slowly deteriorate your gutter system, making it extremely difficult for them to retain water and do their job.2. Sagging or Overflowing - If you notice your gutters just aren’t sitting like they used to, they more than likely need to be repaired. Sagging can indicate a number of things -- brackets have loosened, damage has occurred or a clog has formed. Either way, you’ll need to correct the issue.
3. Hanging - If your gutters have very obviously become detached from your home, you’ll definitely need to get a pro in right away to assess the damage and repair them. This can happen during rain storms, on a particularly windy day, or even for no foreseeable reason at all!
4. Pooling Water - Do you notice a lot of water collecting around your home’s foundation after it storms? This means your gutters are not doing their job properly. You may require repairs or replacement or you may need to add an additional downspout or a downspout extender.
5. Indoor Leaks - If you notice water stains in the attic, or at the joint where your ceiling and exterior walls meet, faulty gutters and damage roofing might be to blame. In addition, flooding in the basement is also common when water is not diverted from the foundation properly.
6. Siding Damage - Peeling, chipping and rotting are all signs that water is cascading down the side of your home. Had your gutters been functioning normally, this would not have occurred. Make sure to have them checked, and have any damaged siding replaced.
Could your gutters, roof or siding use some repairs? Lucky for you, All Aluminum Gutters can take care of all three! For more information about our services, visit our website or call 631-816-2498.
