At Roofing By The Book, LLC, we have extensive experience in the roofing industry, and we offer a comprehensive range of roofing services to help you keep your roof in great condition. One of the many services we offer is gutter replacement. Your gutters play a vital role in protecting your roof, siding, and foundation from water damage, but they can’t do so effectively once they reach the end of their lifespan. In this article, we will go over a few ways to tell when it’s time to get a gutter replacement.
- Rust, Cracks, or Holes – One clear sign it’s time to schedule gutter replacement services is visible damage to the gutters. If your gutters have become rusted, cracked, or have developed holes at any point, then we encourage you to give us a call to have our technicians replace the damaged gutters with new ones.
- Sagging – Another sign you need gutter replacement services is the gutters sagging, rather than remaining straight and parallel to the ground. When gutters sag in the middle, they can no longer effectively protect your home from water damage because water will pool in the low portion rather than flowing down the spouts like it’s supposed to.
- Connectors Failing – A third sign you need gutter replacement services can be seen in the connectors fastening the different pieces of your gutters together, and the ones attaching the gutters to your roof. If these connectors are coming loose or appear to be under excessive strain, it is likely time to replace the gutters.
