Our team at Carolina Custom Roofing Services has been working in the roofing industry for many years, and we know how to keep your roof in great condition. One of the most important parts of your roof system is actually your gutters, as they protect your building from water damage by channeling water off the roof and away from your siding and foundations. While gutters are built to last, they will eventually need to be replaced. In this article, we will go over a few signs you need gutter replacement—if you notice any of the following issues with your gutters, we encourage you to give us a call right away.
- Cracks – One clear sign it’s time to replace your gutters is cracks in the troughs or spouts. If your gutters become cracked, they’ll start to leak, which prevents them from doing their job effectively. Give us a call right away if you notice cracks in your gutters, and we’ll schedule gutter replacement as soon as possible.
- Rust – Similarly, you will also need gutter replacement services if your gutters become rusted. Rust damages the metal and will eventually lead to leaks. Since these leaks can lead to even bigger issues, it’s a good idea to call our team right away.
- Sagging – A third sign it’s time for gutter replacement can be seen in the slope of your gutters. When gutters are in good condition, they are straight across the entire length of the building, with any incline being too minor to see from the ground. In addition, while gutters have a slight incline to ensure the water drains properly, that incline should be even and smooth, with no dips. If any part of your gutters is visibly sagging, give us a call to schedule a replacement.
