Gutter Replacement

Spring is here, and so is the rain.  Normally you like rainy weather; it feels cleansing.  But this year, the down pours have seemed extreme.  When you mention to your friends you feel like the rain is falling harder, they don’t agree.  So you step outside next time it’s a downpour and notice there’s water runoff seeping over the edge of your gutter.  “Better call Mike Ragan Roofingand Sheet Metal,” you think to yourself.

Here are four tips to know if your gutter needs replacing from Mike Ragan Roofing.

1.)  Cracks.  Small cracks in your gutter may not seem like a huge issue, but with just a little bit of water flow, little cracks can grow, damaging the boards behind the gutters, the roof underneath them, and the foundation below your house due to excess water runoff.

2.)  Peeling paint.  As most paint around gutters has an extra coat of sealant due to excess exposure to water, peeling paint and rust flakes are signs that water is standing in your gutter, not circulating properly.

3.)  Water and mildew.  Mildew and pools of water on or near your home’s foundation are clear signs your gutters are not working properly, as the whole purpose of a home gutter system is regulating water flow away from a home’s foundations.

4.)  Gutter sagging.  Gutters don’t sag unless there’s something weighing them down.  If a gutter begins to sag due to excess buildup, it has already been seriously damaged and is in need of repair at the very least, and maybe even replacement.
