Do Your Old Gutters Need Gutter Repair?

Old gutters is a relative term, but it’s a really good indication your gutters are old if they are:

  • Installed with spike and ferrule
  • Showing significant exterior color fade
  • Have seams along the run of the gutter

Often times we arrive to a job to check on repairs and we realize the client is in need of a gutter installation instead. If your gutters are leaking at the seams it may be time to update to seamless gutters. If your gutters were installed with spike and ferrule, this means they are likely 20 years old and you could also potentially have rotting fascia.

Finding gutter problems before they need major repairs is essential. Rainwater spilling over the edges of your gutters or the presence of rust and corrosion are both indications that your gutters are deteriorating and in need of gutter repair. Uneven or sagging gutters, which might be the result of trash accumulation or trapped water, are another warning sign. Water leaking from the gutters can cause external problems such as peeling paint and water stains. Gutter life may be prolonged with routine cleaning and maintenance, as can the lifespan of any home protection system.

  • Gutter hanging off the home – may need a gutter replacement
  • Downspout disconnected from gutter or home
  • Water in basement
  • Water in home
  • Seams leaking or dripping
  • Overflowing gutters – may just need a gutter cleaning

  • Spike & ferrules pulling away from the gutter where you can see the nail head popping out
  • Lines in your landscape below the gutter
  • Mold in areas below where gutters are, or should be
  • Rotting deck boards, windowsills, garage doors, and regular doors below where gutters are, or should be
  • Erosion in landscape or mulch beds
  • Cracking or upheaval of sidewalks, patios, driveways and stairs
  • Paint flaking or peeling prematurely in areas near the base of the home
  • Dips or back pitch in gutters

A gutter system that is properly installed and maintained by regular gutter cleanings or maintenance or protected with gutter guards should last up to 30 years. Gutters that have not been properly maintained usually fail between 10 and 15 years.

If you notice water spilling over near the downspouts, chances are your downspouts are clogged. A professional cleaning will remove the blockage and restore proper water flow.

Overflowing water in the middle of the gutter or at the far end of the downspout is often a sign of structural issues. This can include:

  • Incorrect pitch, preventing water from flowing freely
  • Gutters that are too small to handle the volume of water
  • Insufficient downspouts for proper drainage
  • Gutters that have sagged or detached due to aging or improper installation

Other red flags include:

  • Water stains or cracks on your siding or foundation
  • Pooling water around the base of your home
  • Overflowing water from the front or back of the gutters
  • Constantly damp ground near underground drains, which could indicate a clog

Since gutter issues can be complicated, having a professional assess your system ensures that the problem is properly diagnosed and addressed.

Hail Damage and Your Gutters

Hailstorms can cause significant damage to your roof, but gutters are also vulnerable. Hail can dent, crack, or misalign gutters, affecting their ability to direct water away from your home. A professional evaluation will help determine if repairs or a full replacement is the best solution.

If you suspect hail damage, it’s wise to contact your insurance company. Many homeowners also work with roofing companies to evaluate overall storm damage. Installing strong gutter guards can help minimize damage in future storms.

Severe weather, from hailstorms to heavy rain and tornadoes, can weaken your gutters. If your roof has been damaged, your gutters likely need attention as well. The Brothers that just do Gutters is experienced in handling hail damage repairs and serves storm-prone areas like Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, and Nebraska.
