Our technicians will evaluate your system, and its issues, and recommend the best course of action moving forward.
Is it time for gutter repair?
The term “old gutters” can be subjective, but certain signs can indicate the age of your gutters, such as:
- They were installed using spike and ferrule.
- They show significant fading of exterior color.
- They have seams running along the gutter.
Sometimes, when called to perform repairs, we discover that a gutter installation/replacement is needed instead. If your gutters are leaking at the seams, it might be time to upgrade to seamless gutters. If your gutters were installed using spike and ferrule, it probably means they are around 20 years old, and you may also have rotting fascia.
Obvious Warning Signs that your gutters are failing:
- Gutter hanging off the home(this may end up requiring a replacement)
- Disconnected downspout (from gutter or home)
- Water in basement
- Water in home
- Leaking or dripping gutter seams
- Overflowing gutters – may just need a gutter cleaning
Subtle Warning Signs of Failing Gutters:
- Spike & ferrules pulling away from the gutter where you can see the nail head popping out
- Lines in your landscape below the gutter
- Mold in or around your guttters
- Rotting deck boards, windowsills, garage doors, and regular doors below where gutters are, or should be
- Eroding of landscape or mulch beds
- Cracking or upheaval of sidewalks, patios, driveways and stairs
- Flaking or peeling paint near base of home
- Dips or back pitch in gutters
A well-installed and maintained gutter system can last for about 30 years, either by regularly cleaning or maintaining it or by using gutter guards. On the other hand, gutters that have not been maintained properly tend to fail in 10 to 15 years.
