Do Your Old Gutters Need Repair?

Old gutters is a relative term, but it’s a really good indication your gutters are old if they are:

  • Installed with spike and ferrule
  • Showing significant exterior color fade
  • Have seams along the run of the gutter

Often times we arrive to a job to check on repairs and we realize the client is in need of a gutter installation instead. If your gutters are leaking at the seams it may be time to update to seamless gutters. If your gutters were installed with spike and ferrule, this means they are likely 20 years old and you could also potentially have rotting fascia.

Early detection of gutter concerns might help you avoid costly damage. If you observe water overflowing from your gutters after a rainstorm, or if you detect obvious rust and corrosion, it’s an indication that your gutters are deteriorating and need gutter repair. Sagging or uneven gutters, which are frequently caused by debris accumulation or retained water, are additional warning signs.
