A home without gutters—or with damaged ones—can face serious consequences. While often overlooked, gutters play a vital role in protecting your home from water damage. Recognizing the signs of deterioration early on can help you avoid costly repairs down the line.
A quick visual inspection is often enough to assess the condition of your gutters. Watch for these common warning signs:
If your gutters overflow during heavy rain, they may be clogged, too narrow for your roof’s slope, or your downspouts may be undersized or too few.
Sagging gutters trap water and debris instead of directing them to the downspouts. This not only reduces efficiency but increases the risk of structural damage.
When nails or hangers come loose, your gutters may tilt forward, bend, or pull away from the fascia—preventing proper drainage and signaling the need for replacement.
Leaks at gutter seams or joints are a clear indicator that your system is worn and no longer sealing properly.
Large puddles near your home’s foundation could mean your gutters are overflowing, your downspouts are misaligned, or there aren’t enough of them. In some cases, it might be necessary to install a downspout extension to redirect water safely away.
Weather takes a toll on your gutters over time. The most common contributing factors include:
Gutters installed with the T-Rex® Continuous Hanger™ are completely seamless and enclosed. Unlike traditional systems that use spaced nails or hangers, T-Rex® reinforces the entire length of the gutter, keeping it secure and obstruction-free all year round.
