Why are Gutters Important?

Gutters are important to every home’s foundation and landscaping. They help to ensure the water run-off from your roof gets safely carried away leaving your basement dry and ensuring your landscaping is not constantly being eroded.

Gutters also protect your home’s fascia, soffit, siding and window trim from wood rot and erosion. Gutters are a home’s number one defense against water damage.

Why do Gutters Fail?

Gutters fail largely due to the common combination of inferior material and inferior labor. Most contractors assume homeowners want a cheap project instead of the right project.

When contractors buy cheap materials along with hiring a subcontracted labor crew to install the gutters, the project will inevitably end up leaving the homeowner having to redo the project.

When a homeowner chooses LeafGuard gutters from LeafGuard of the Midlands, they are choosing to have a top-of-the-line gutter system professionally installed by certified LeafGuard installation experts.

How Can You Tell if Your Gutters are Failing?

The earlier you can catch gutter failure, the better chance you have of preventing serious property damage. The next time you step outside, take a look at your gutters and give them a thorough inspection.

Here are some warning signs to look for to see if your gutters are failing:

• Are your gutters securely fastened to the fascia board?
• Can you see daylight between the gutter and fascia board?
• Are your downspouts snug against the siding?
• Do your gutters rattle?
• Is there apparent “tiger-striping?”
• Do they leak?

A quick, fairly aggressive rattle will tip you off to the current stability of your existing gutter system. If your gutters seem loose or you can see daylight behind any section you have a potential problem.

Also, If you see “tiger-striping” on your fascia board you have a problem. This is a sign your gutter apron is not properly overlapped or secured to your gutter causing water to get behind the gutter and expose your roof decking and fascia to water damage.

Does your gutter have seams? Most gutters nowadays are seamless, but still have seams on the corners or miters.

Do they leak? Anywhere your gutter is leaking, look down; there may be signs of water erosion.

Do your downspout extensions carry the water far enough away from your foundation and landscaping?

Do your gutters have the proper pitch or slope? Look into the gutters after a rain. Is there standing water in any of the sections? This is a key sign something needs to be done.

With winter as an inevitable time of year here in the Midwest, snow and ice will wreak havoc on gutters putting a lot of stress and pressure on the current system fueling the cause of the above warning signs.
