In fact, it can hard to tell what is preventable with a little maintenance without the right experience. So, we have listed some signs below of how to tell when a gutter system is in need of repairs and not replacement.

Signs That Your Gutter Is In Need of Repairs

• Cracks
  Small cracks will turn into bigger ones and there is no way to tell how much water the system can handle before it completes fails. Seek help from a pro as soon as possible for emergency repairs.

• Mildew around foundation
  Pools of water around your homes base are a sign that your gutter system needs repairs.

• Lifespan
  Gutter sagging is not aesthetically pleasing, but more so, also may indicate a heavier volume the gutter can handle or blockage.

• Peeling paint
  If the paint on your gutters is starting to peel then your gutters may not be releasing water as they are designed to do. Water being constantly present in the system is a sign it may need repairs.

• Rust spots
  Holes and rust spots are a sign of your gutter systems age and may be pointing you toward repairing or eventually replacing the system.

• Separate channels
  If your gutter’s joints have separated and are not one continuous channel of water then they are not doing their function and need be repaired.
