Signs that your gutters need to be repaired or replaced
The length of time a gutter will last depends on many varying factors, we have put together some signs to watch out for:
Cracks
Small cracks will turn into big cracks, so it’s better to catch them before they do any serious damage. Leaving small cracks unattended can result in further damage to your gutter as well as your fascia boards, the shingles and the foundation. Don’t let a molehill turn into a mountain.
Peeling paint or orange hue
Unless your gutter is old, peeling paint or a rust colour on your gutter is usually a sign that water is spending too long unmoved in the gutter. This means the gutter isn’t doing its job and it may mean a crack or leak.
Water damage
If you see signs of water damage or water marks beneath your gutter then it may indicate leaks. If this isn’t rectified it can cause damage to your soffit and fascia board.
Puddles around the outside of your home
If you see puddles of water directly around your home and the rest is dry, then gutter repair may be needed. This could potentially lead to foundation damage.
Out of shape gutter
If your gutters have changed shape then it may mean that they are full of water. This is a clear sign to undertake a gutter repair or even replacement immediately.
