What You Should Do When You Need To Replace Your Gutters

2 min read Aug 30, 2024

When your gutters show signs of damage or inefficiency, it's time for a professional replacement. Prompt action prevents costly structural issues and ensures your home remains protected from water damage.

Rain gutters provide a much-needed function for your home. When it rains, they keep the flow of water moving in a certain path to keep the moisture from damaging your house. Unfortunately, these useful objects do not last forever, and you will eventually need a gutter replacement.

Why You Need to Replace Your Gutters

The most important reason to replace your gutters is that they are no longer functioning as they should. If your gutters stop working well, it can result in quite a bit of damage to your home. If your gutters are not channeling water away from your home effectively, it can go inside the walls and damage the structure of the building. Roofs, flooring and even the foundation of your home can be affected if a gutter replacement is not done. In some cases, replacing the gutters may even improve the appearance of your home.

How to Tell When You Need a Replacement

There are many signs that can indicate the need for a replacement. Some obvious ones include loose or missing gutter sections as well as gutters that are missing nails and have lost their shape. These problems will not allow the gutter to carry water properly. Other signs that you need a gutter replacement are mold or water stains on the outside of the building, the appearance of water channels or small ponds near your house after a storm or washed out areas of landscaping.

What to Do When it’s Time

If you notice any of these signs and decide that it is time for new gutters, you should call a professional to do the work. This way, you can ensure that the gutters are installed correctly to keep your home from suffering more damage. They will often provide a warranty for defective gutters as well.

You should have a gutter replacement done quickly once you notice any damage. Having the service done by a professional will help prevent future problems.
