Gutters are an essential part of the roofing system, and should be maintained as often as the roof itself.
Gutters, like every other component part in your roofing system, aren’t immune to damage from nature’s elements. When they’ve taken some years of beating, you’ll need gutter repair or replacement gutters.
Leaves, twigs, and other debris can clog gutters. This leads to water overflow that can damage both the roof and the foundation. Regular maintenance helps prevent these issues by ensuring gutters are clear and functioning properly. Ignoring gutter upkeep could result in costly repairs down the road.
Costly damage to your home
Water that doesn’t drain correctly can seep into walls or cause erosion around your home’s foundation. This not only compromises structural stability but also invites mold growth and pest infestations.
We advise our homeowners to inspect their gutters at least twice a year—in spring and autumn—and after any major storm events. Look for signs of rust, sagging sections, or visible leaks that might indicate more serious problems.
