Gutters are one of those integral components of your home that you rarely give thought to. However, poorly maintained gutters will more often than not develop major problems that can expose your home to structural damage. Therefore, knowing which issues might require urgent and professional gutter repair is important.
- Sagging. This common gutter problem mostly occurs when your gutter system is continuously weighed down by debris on a particular section. When it rains, rainwater will quickly pool and flow over the sagging section, exposing your eaves and foundation to water damage.
- Leaks and Holes. Gutters can spring leaks and holes for various reasons, from corrosion to storm damage. Regardless of the cause, a leaking gutter can erode the home’s foundation directly beneath it, leading to bigger problems.
- Clogging. Clogging is perhaps the most common gutter problem. Leaves, twigs, sediment, and other debris often collect in gutter channels, which leads to clogging over time. A clogged gutter can’t drain rainwater; instead, the water overflows and comes into contact with your home’s eaves, foundation, and exterior.
- Damage. The main culprit of gutter damage is stormy weather. Heavy rains or strong winds can knock down or deform a few gutter sections, in which case an urgent gutter repair is necessary to avoid further damage to your home or gutter system.
