Your gutters have a way of telling you when they need to be replaced. Don’t ignore the warning signs; set an appointment with your contractor. Read on as Royal Roofing Construction, your premier residential roofing company, explains how you’ll know when it’s time to replace your home’s gutters.
Water has a way of seeping through even the tiniest gaps, which is why it’s imperative to keep your gutters leak-free. It’s also important to repair small holes before they get bigger. If you neglect these issues, your fascia boards, shingles and even the foundation of your home can become damaged.
Peeling
Peeling paint or orange flecks are indicators of improper movement of water in your gutters. Your gutters have a special coating that’s designed to withstand the ill effects of Mother Nature. If this coating is peeling, it means you have a problem. Let your local contractor inspect your gutters to determine underlying issues.
Sagging
Gutters pulling away from your roof are another indication of improper water flow. The rain that hits your roof is supposed to travel directly to the downspouts. When it doesn’t, it can get backed up in your gutters, causing them to sag. This might also mean the gutters are handling too much weight, which could be caused by a buildup of debris.
