Gutters may not be the most glamorous part of your home, but they play a critical role in protecting your property. When gutters fail, the consequences can be expensive.
Protecting Your Foundation
Gutters direct water away from your home's foundation. Without functioning gutters, rainwater pools around the base of your home, leading to foundation cracks, basement flooding, and soil erosion.
Preventing Roof Damage
Clogged or damaged gutters cause water to back up under your roof's edge. Over time, this leads to fascia rot, soffit damage, and can even compromise your roof deck. This is especially problematic during winter when backed-up water can freeze and create ice dams — one of the leading causes of winter roof damage in the Tri-State area.
When to Replace Instead of Repair
While minor gutter issues can sometimes be fixed, there are clear signs that replacement is the better option:
- Multiple sections are sagging or pulling away from the house
- Visible cracks, holes, or rust throughout the system
- Water is overflowing even after cleaning
- Your gutters are more than 20 years old
If you are also noticing signs that your roof needs replacing, bundling both projects together can save time and money.
