Six warning signs you need a gutter replacement
How to expertly detect if your gutters are damaged
When inspecting your home for repairs, remember to investigate the exterior! While a gutter system can last over 20 years, it will not last forever. Gutter installation costs are a worthwhile investment for your home. Water damage is a common indication that your home needs a gutter cleaning and/or reparation.
Our team at Moreno & Moreno specializes in the professional installation of seamless gutters. In this blog, we have identified six warning signs that indicate if a gutter replacement is necessary.
#1: Pools of water or mildew
If there is standing water or mildew near the home’s foundation, gutter replacement is imminent. It is important to address this problem quickly to prevent costly damage to your home’s foundation.
#2: Gutters are sagging
Sagging gutters are costly to repair. When sagging occurs, removing and replacing your gutters is your best option.
#3: You notice peeling paint on your facade
Peeling paint is a sign of constant moisture exposure. This is likely an indication of broken gutters. Conduct an inspection and consider gutter replacement based on what you see.
#4: Water damage or water marks directly beneath the gutters
Discoloration on the facade of your home can indicate water damage. Conduct an inspection right away and consider gutter replacement based on what you see.
#5: There are cracks and/or rust
Gaps, cracks, and rust can compromise the integrity of your gutters. If you notice rust, cracks, or frequent breaks in the seams between your gutters, you should think about replacing your gutters once and for all.
#6: Water is overflowing
Overflowing could be a sign of improperly installed or poorly designed gutters that are too narrow for your home. You should consider gutter replacement and seek the advice of a professional.
When it comes time to replace your gutters, make sure to do your due diligence in selecting a professional gutter installer and familiarize yourself with the different types of gutters.
