Have your house gutters seen better days? Or, are you simply tired of having to pick leaves and debris out of the seams? No problem—we install seamless aluminum or copper gutters that can prevent clogs from forming.
Is there a section or two of your home’s gutter system that is constantly clogging, or has become warped or damaged? Our gutter repair experts have the tools and the know-how to fix them up and improve performance.
Not every home is built with gutters, but every home could benefit from having them. If you’re interested in keeping your home safer from the effects of water damage, let’s discuss gutter installation!
Even the best seamless gutters on the market will still let leaves and other debris into the trough. Want to keep everything but the rainwater out? We can install gutter guards that will do the trick and prevent you from having to climb that ladder to clean out the trough.
Do I Really Need Gutters on My House?
Preventing water damage
Gutters direct rainwater away from your home, preventing water from seeping into the foundations or basement, which can lead to severe structural damage over time.
Protecting landscaping
By controlling the flow of rainwater, gutters prevent soil erosion around your property and protect your landscaping from being washed away.
Shielding your roof
Without gutters, water can pool on your roof, potentially leading to leaks and damage to your roofing material.
Preventing mold growth
By keeping excess moisture away from your home, gutters can help prevent the growth of mold and mildew, which thrive in damp conditions.
Preserving homes’ aesthetic appeal
Water stains on the exterior walls caused by overflowing rainwater can be avoided with a proper gutter system, preserving your home's curb appeal.
Signs Your Gutters Need Repair or Replacement
Just like any other part of your home, your gutters need regular attention and maintenance. We highly recommend keeping an eye on your gutters to ensure they're functioning properly. Being able to identify early signs of damage can save you from costly repairs down the line and help maintain the health and safety of your home. Here are some signs that might indicate it's time to contact Award Roofing:
Sagging or pulling away – If your gutters are sagging or starting to pull away from your house, it's usually a sign they're weighed down by debris or water and need repairing or replacing.
Cracks or splits – While small cracks might seem insignificant, they can grow over time, leading to more substantial damage. Larger cracks or splits are clear indicators that you need to replace your gutters.
Peeling paint or rust stains – These could be signs of continuous water exposure, suggesting that your gutters are not efficiently directing water away from your home.
Water damage marks – If you notice water stains or water damage directly beneath your gutters, it's likely that water is escaping and not being effectively directed away.
Pooling water – If your gutters are working correctly, they should direct water away from your home's foundation. If you notice pooling water or mildew near the foundation, your gutters may not be doing their job.
Overflowing water – If water is spilling over the sides of your gutters during a rainstorm, it means they're clogged, improperly installed, or too small to handle the volume of water.
