FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
Q. How do I know if I need a gutter replacement?
Most gutters will need to be replaced or repaired at some point to help protect your home. If there is paint peeling around your gutter, or orange flecks from rust, it can mean that water is not actually being removed by the gutter and that other damage may be occurring.
If you notice pools of water or mildew around your gutter, there may be a clog in the system, and if not treated soon, water can really cause some damage.
Lastly, if your gutters sag or pull away from your home, it means they are full of water and are being pulled down by their weight. This is usually due to improper draining or a blockage as a result of debris. If you notice any of these issues, get in touch with us today for a complimentary assessment of your property’s gutters.
