Your gutters protect your home from leaks, foundation damage, and stained siding by redirecting rainwater into your downspouts. That’s why you need to clean your gutters and inspect them for damage regularly. Here are some common gutter problems:
Gutter Clogs
As an expert in gutters, we recommend staying on the lookout for gutter clogs. These form when dirt, leaves, needles, and debris block rainwater from flowing into your gutters. This rainwater eventually overflows, causing damage to your home. We suggest cleaning your gutters regularly. Unfortunately, this is a time-consuming and tiring task. It’s best to hire a professional to make the process quick and convenient.
Poor Pitch
Your gutters need to have an imperceptible slope towards your downspout. If this pitch is off, you may still end up with overflowing gutters. Poorly pitched gutters stem from incorrect gutter installations or your house settling. As a gutters and replacement windows specialist, we recommend working with a professional like us to fix this problem. We have the experience to calculate the perfect gutter pitch for your gutter system.
Gutter Leaks
They can develop through corrosion or other types of damage. They also open at the joints between sections of your gutter system. We can patch and reseal these leaks, but this is a temporary solution at best. If your gutter system suffers from extensive leaks, then you might need a replacement. Fortunately, we’re not just a vinyl siding company; we install gutters too. We use only the best products in the industry.
