Gutter Repairs

Gutter repair is an important part of maintaining your home. Gutters are responsible for collecting and draining rainwater away from your house, protecting it from water damage. Without proper functioning gutters, the rainwater can leak into your walls or foundation, causing costly repairs down the line. Not only that, but clogged or damaged gutters can also create a breeding ground for pests. You should regularly inspect your gutters and call a professional at the first sign of trouble.

Proactively catching issues with your gutters can dramatically reduce the scope and cost of gutter repairs. Consequently, you should have your gutters professionally inspected at least once a year, preferably during the spring months when heavy rains are more frequent. You should also take a look at your gutters and consider scheduling an inspection after extreme weather, such as a hurricane. If you notice any signs of wear or damage while inspecting them yourself, it is important to contact a professional right away to prevent worsening water damage or pest infestations. Reach out to our gutter repair experts in if you discover any of the following warning signs:

• Cracked, bent, or sagging gutter sections: Sections of your gutters can crack, become bent, or start to sag due to inclement weather (such as high winds) or because of wear and tear caused by a lack of maintenance. These issues indicate structural damage to the gutters and can prevent them from functioning properly. If left unattended, this kind of damage can lead to water leaking into your walls or foundation which could result in costly repairs down the line.
• Clogged downspouts: Downspouts can become clogged due to a buildup of dirt, leaves, and other debris. Left unaddressed, this can cause water to overflow and damage your gutters. Areas with heavy snowfall can also cause downspouts to become clogged, as it prevents the proper flow of melting snow and ice through the gutters.
• Rust spots: Rust spots in gutter systems are most commonly caused by water that has collected and become stagnant over time. As the water begins to evaporate, the chemicals and minerals in it can cause oxidation which leads to rust. These rust spots will also form around seams, as this is where water can easily be trapped, allowing for corrosion to occur. If your gutter system does not have a protective coating or sealant applied, its metal is exposed without any kind of protection against moisture and other elements, increasing the likelihood of rusting. The presence of any amount of rust signals it is time for a professional inspection and repairs.
• Missing or broken shingles: Missing or broken shingles can directly cause several of the aforementioned problems that warrant professional intervention. For example, when the shingles on your roof are missing or damaged, it allows water to seep through and collect in the gutter system, leading to rust spots forming due to oxidation from the chemicals and minerals present in the stagnant water. This pooled water can also cause damage to the foundation of your home as well as other structural issues, such as cracking or sagging sections within the gutters themselves.
• Pooled water near the base of your home: If you start noticing pooled water around the base of your home after rainstorms, then it is time to get your gutters looked at by a professional. This indicates that the gutters are not functioning properly and need to be serviced to prevent further damage or issues within your gutter system. Pooled water near the base of your home can lead to structural damage such as cracks or sagging sections and also create an ideal breeding ground for pests.
