If your gutters are damaged, sagging, missing parts or improperly installed, it is unfortunate but likely that damage to your home is sure to follow. A gutter that is missing, or that drains too close to the house will saturate the ground. This wet saturated ground can produce a variety of problems.

A wet, saturated ground near your home can be easily and affordably prevented with a quality gutter system, but left unchecked can:

• Create a breeding ground for Mold and Mildew.
• Eat away at foundation and basement walls.
• Develop cracks and leaks that will worsen quickly in the winter months when the ground freezes and expands.
• Cause driveways and walkways to sink and rise, interior and exterior walls and floors to warp, bow or become wet, molded or stained. Unfortunately, entire homes have been destroyed due to water damage.

If water overflows:

Over the back of a clogged gutter, damage to exterior and interior (via the cavity) walls can occur and dampness can result. The gutter should be checked for debris and blockages and the fascia brackets also checked as they may have been damaged, causing the gutter to sag.

Over the front of a clogged gutter, this can be very annoying, both to walk under and because of the noise it can create. If this is happening you should be considering Gutter Guards. Protection for your gutters will keep leaves, pine needle, acorns and other debris out, and maintain the clear flow of water to the downspout.

If joints are leaking, the rubber seals inside the joint will probably need replacing, or sometimes the joint itself should be renewed. You will find this job a lot easier if attempted in warm weather, as the plastic is much more pliable
