It is important to know when your gutters needs to be repaired or replaced. Below are signs that your gutter might need some help:
Signs of Mildew or Pooling Water
Gutters are installed to keep water away from your home’s foundation, so if you notice pools of water, it is an indication that your gutters are not working properly.

Gutters Pulling Away
This is an obvious indication that your gutters need to be repaired. Gutters should neither sag or pull away from your home, but instead be flush with the building.
Peeling or fading paint around your gutters
Your gutter’s paint is designed to withstand wear and tear, so peeling paint is an indication that the water in your gutters is not draining properly or that your gutters are aging/could have other damage.
Splits or cracks in your gutters
Small splits or cracks may not seem like a big problem, but if not fixed quickly, it can eventually turn into a big issue. Leaking water will not only do more damage to your gutters, it can also damage your fascia boards, soffit, shingles, and foundation. You want to protect your home’s structural integrity as much as possible to avoid costly repairs.
