4 COMMON CAUSES OF GUTTER DAMAGE

While gutters can be damaged in many ways, there are a few common causes that you should know about. This can help you prevent damage and prepare better for repairs.

  • EXTREME WEATHER

While gutters can get damaged in lots of ways, there are a few common causes that you should know about. This can help you better prepare to address them with the proper gutter repairs.

  • TREES & LEAF DEBRIS

Trim your trees regularly. Trees near your property can also cause damage. Branches can fall and damage your gutters, while leaves can cause clogs and pooling water.

  • AGE

Aging is a cause of damage that you can’t avoid. But you can delay its effects with regular repairs and maintenance.

  • HUMIDITY & MOLD

Moisture and mold are also common problems, especially in wetter areas. When cleaning your gutters, you can remove mold with a water and vinegar mixture.

COMMON GUTTER PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS

If your property has gutters, then chances are that sooner or later you will come across some of these common problems. To know what to do when that happens, learn more about them and how you can fix them.

Sagging Gutter

A sagging gutter happens when standing water backs up, which then causes the gutter to loosen. For a temporary fix, wedge shims between the back of the gutter and the fascia board and then nail them into place. Long term, you may need to remove the whole gutter and rebuild the fascia.

Loose Downspouts

The downspout is where the water from the gutter drains away from your house. A loose downspout can cause water leaks and pooling near your foundation. A loose downspout can be fixed with screws and gutter sealant.

Leaky Gutters

Most gutters come in sections, meaning there are areas where leaks form. Even seamless gutters can have leaking from the end caps from rust or damage. End caps and the seams can be fixed with gutter sealant. If you have holes or cracks, you can use tin snips to cut a patch from flashing and then cement it in place using gutter sealant.

Clogs

Clogs impede the water flow in your gutters and cause standing water. It can lead to sagging gutters and leaks. Gutter clogs are made of leaves and debris, which can be removed with gloves. If the clog is inside a downspout, you can use your garden hose on high or a pressure washer to remove it.

Leaking Gutter Caps

If water is dropping out of the ends of your gutters, then you have a problem with your gutter caps. Using a water brush, you can scrub any debris from around the seal and then caulk it.

Incorrect Slope

The slope of your gutter is critical for proper function. If your water is not draining, then you may have a slope problem. Remove the gutter and any brackets, and then re-install the gutter so that the slope is about 1/4 inch slope over 10 horizontal feet.

GUTTER STYLES & MATERIALS

Did you know that the style of gutter you have on your home is extremely important? And it’s not just a matter of style preference. The weather your property withstands and the style of roof it has should both dictate what kind of gutters you install. There are multiple types of gutter styles and materials to choose from

Aluminum Gutters

Aluminum Gutters
If you have a tight budget, aluminum is the way to go. It's the most popular gutter material for its affordable, durable, and weather-resistant properties. With a durable coating, it outlasts steel gutters and offers long-lasting protection—all without breaking the bank.

Vinyl Gutters

Vinyl Gutters
Vinyl offers many benefits for gutting systems. It's budget-friendly, easy to install, requires minimal upkeep, lightweight, rust-resistant, and has extensive styling options. However, it's not as durable as many of its counterparts, so it's crucial to consider all factors and choose only quality sources.

Steel Gutters

Steel Gutters
Steel gutters are designed for homes in regions experiencing severe weather. They don't warp or crack easily, resist rust and corrosion, are eco-friendly, and can be customized for aesthetic purposes. However, this material may require more upkeep than the others, so regular maintenance is essential.

Copper Gutters

Copper Gutters
Are you looking for a one-time, lifetime gutter solution? Copper gutters are a smart investment, lasting up to 80 years with professional installation and minimal maintenance. Their timeless beauty also significantly boosts your property’s value.
