3 Places to Check If You Need to Have Your Gutters Replaced

September 18, 2014

Gutters, like most home improvement features, protect the structural integrity of a house. It is installed along the roof’s edges to redirect or channel rainwater away from the property. This prevents water-related damage like rotting, mold and mildew, and internal flooding, which can easily compromise your home. That is why it is important to see to it that your gutters are in good condition.

There are ways to tell if you already need to have work done on your gutters. A compromised gutter in Albany NY can lead to other complicated and potentially expensive damage to the rest of your home. Here are places you need to check along with signs you need to watch out for:

1. Exterior
–    Cracks on the walls
–    Rust stains from corroding gutters
–    Gaps between gutter connections or between gutters and fascia boards
–    Broken fasteners or nails that have fallen from loose gutters

2. Interiors
–    Mold on the ceiling
–    Mold growing in the basement
–    Dripping water or water stains along the walls and ceilings
