Do My Gutters Need Replacing?
Maintaining gutters on your home can sometimes create hassles, particularly if they have generated holes. Having holes in your gutters stops the flow of water away from your home. In addition, it can cause your home to appear dilapidated, crippling your curb appeal. Disintegrated gutters can also wreak havoc on your home’s fascia boards by creating the perfect environment for rot to commence. A rotten fascia board can lead to water leaking inside your siding, running through your walls and eventually down to your infrastructure. A critical component of a home’s health is gutters in good working order. Below are warning signs your gutters need replacement.
5 Signs Your Home Needs New Gutters
1. The Hardware Holding Gutters Together Is Falling Apart
Seeing nails and screws on the ground? This could be an indicator that your gutters aren’t properly secured to your home. Gutters that aren’t correctly fastened soon sag and provide an open space for water to get behind your fascia board and into your home’s walls. Dipping gutters can be the result of improper installation, clogging, or even warping over time due to weather and the settling of the foundation. In order to avoid these issues, continued review is needed.
2. You’ve Noticed Build-Up
Are pools of water or dirt appearing inside your gutters or next to your home? Left unaddressed, the buildup of water will leak into your basement, splash dirt onto your siding, and drip on your guests’ heads as they enter and exit your home. Maintaining your gutters is a bothersome task, however, it helps prolong the lifespan of your home and your personal euphoria of knowing your home is well taken care of.

Without proper functioning gutters, you can say goodbye to a vibrant and lawn which can quickly become eroded by failing gutters. You can avoid drowning your grass and plants with well-placed and preserved gutters.
4. Your Driveway is Showing Signs of Deterioration
Have you noticed a crack in your concrete or asphalt driveway following you as you walk to grab your mail? Clumsily installed gutters misguide the water, allowing it to stream down the driveway eroding the pavement. The structural integrity of your driveway affects your home from the foundation all the way up to the roof.

You Are Noticing an Increase in Mosquitoes
Safe to say mosquitoes are one of the most long-established nuisances of northern life. 10,000 lakes is more than enough of a feeding ground for the little buggers, however they still find a way to be as close to us as possible. Mistakenly sloped gutters create pools of water which is the best feeding ground for mosquitoes and other pests. Avoid having unwanted guests by making sure your gutters are installed with an appropriate slant to avoid small puddles from gathering.
