For both your roof and your foundation, gutters do essential work in protecting your home. But while they’re durable and designed to last, gutters don’t last forever. If you find yourself in need of rain gutter replacement services, PITCH Roofing has the experts and world-class materials to get the job done right.
Don’t just take our word for it, though. Today, we’re demonstrating our expertise by telling you everything you need to know about replacing your old, damaged rain gutters. To start, we’re answering one of the most common questions we get: when should I replace my gutters?
When Do You Need Rain Gutter Replacement Services?
Knowing when to replace rain gutters is tricky. Act too quickly and you’re wasting money, but wait too long and you risk damaging your roof and weakening your foundation. Luckily, there are some surefire ways to spot when it’s time for a rain gutter replacement.
In our experience, the easiest ways to tell when you need to replace gutters are by looking at:
- Paint: Gutter paint is designed to resist normal wear and tear from water and trapped leaves. That’s why peeling paint is such a red flag. If your gutters’ paint has suffered enough damage to peel, it’s probably gotten too old and/or is dealing with standing water. In either case, replacement is necessary.
- Cracks: Even a small crack in your guttering system will require at least a partial rain gutter replacement. These cracks grow over time, weakening your gutters until they don’t work at all.
- Nails: During installation, contractors nail your gutters into place. If you start seeing loose nails, or worse, fallen nails on the ground, then it’s time for a new set of gutters before your old one comes crashing down.
- Sagging: If your gutters start to sag or pull away from your home, it’s time to replace them. Repairs are sometimes possible, but often, it’s cheaper and easier to replace sagging gutters.
- Rust: Once you see rust, start planning to replace your gutters. Small, infrequent spots can be repaired, but large sections of rust or rust in multiple areas is always a sign that it’s time to replace your gutters.
On top of all these physical signs, age is another way to tell when you need a rain gutter replacement. Most guttering systems will last for about 20 years on average. If your gutters are around this age or older and you see signs of wear and tear, then it’s almost certainly time for a rain gutter replacement.
Planning your new rain gutters requires more than just knowing when to call for help. You also need to know who to call. And with a proven track record of excellence, PITCH Roofing has the know-how to install your new gutters and set them up for long-term success.
