Do Your Old Gutters Need Gutter Repair?
The age of gutters is a relative concept, yet certain signs suggest they may need replacement, such as:
-
Installed with spike and ferrule
- Showing significant exterior color fade
- Have seams along the run of the gutter
When we go to repair someone’s gutters, we sometimes find that the client would be better off replacing them. If there are leaks in the seams, it’s time to switch to seamless gutters. Additionally, if their gutters were installed with spike and ferrule they’re likely more than 20 years old and the fascia may be starting to rot.
Clear Indicators of Faulty Gutters:
- Gutter hanging off the home – may need a gutter replacement
- Downspout disconnected from gutter or home
- Water in basement
- Water in home
- Seams leaking or dripping
- Overflowing gutters – may just need a gutter cleaning
Signs You May Need to Replace Your 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 areas below where gutters are, or should be
- Rotting deck boards, windowsills, garage doors, and regular doors below where gutters are, or should be
- Erosion in landscape or mulch beds
- Cracking or upheaval of sidewalks, patios, driveways and stairs
