You should be taking some precautions when it comes to your home, especially since the Fall season is upon us. If you notice any of these early signs of gutter damage, you should make repairs right away to avoid bigger problems in the future or invest in a gutter helmet system from us.
Sagging Gutters
If you step outside, do you see that your gutters are falling a bit due south of your fascia? Not good. Not only can that sagging tear your fascia the more it falls, but it will prevent your gutters from working properly and allow water to pool and flood certain areas of your home.
Rusty Gutters
Rusting gutters are often a sign of sitting water. The only reason water would sit stagnant in your gutters is because clogged debris is preventing it from flowing out through your gutters normally. If you notice a lot of rust on your gutters, you should check for and clear out any debris that could be blocking water.
Soggy Grass
Your gutters and downspouts work to flow water away from your home, but if they’re clogged, rainwater will sit at the edge of your lawn and cause it to develop soggy patches. Especially if you notice the soggy grass runs parallel to your home, you likely have issues with your gutters.
Peeling Paint
When water constantly falls on your home due to faulty or damaged gutters, your home’s exterior can suffer from peeling paint and rotted wood framing. Not only does this damage your home, but the extra moisture could lead to mold growth. Gross!
