Here’s a well-known fact: autumn means leaves fall off the trees. Here’s a not-so-well-known fact: your gutters have a big impact on how your home will handle the upcoming months. If they’re not in good shape, your gutters won’t make it through fall and your home could suffer for it, so make sure to watch out for these signs.

Your Gutters are Old

Most gutters last between 15 and 20 years, but if yours have been around longer than that and you haven’t replaced them, you should have them inspected. Otherwise, they won’t do you any good when it comes to protecting your home.

Your Gutters are Rusting

Rusting leads to cracks, and cracks lead to holes. While some of that damage can be fixed, if it gets too bad, you’ll need entirely new gutters in order to protect your home.

Your Gutters are Sagging or Detached

If you’re gutters aren’t attached to your house, they can’t do their jobs and definitely won’t last through the fall.

Your Gutters Keep Getting Clogged

Remember that well-known fact we told you? Those falling leaves will 100% end up in your gutter at some point or another. If they keep getting clogged, that’s a telltale sign that something is wrong, and your gutters won’t make it to fall.
