At Weldon Roofing, we offer a comprehensive range of roofing services, including gutter services, to keep your roof in great shape. Your gutters play an important role in protecting your roof and the rest of your building from water damage, so we offer maintenance, repair, and replacement services to ensure they can continue to do their job. In this article, we will go over a few ways to tell if you need gutter repair services—if you notice any of the following issues, don’t hesitate to give us a call.
- Visible Cracks – One sign you need gutter repair is the presence of visible cracks or holes in the gutters. You can check for this issue by performing a visual inspection of your gutters, but the problem will also become obvious when it rains, as water will leak out of the cracks. If your gutters are cracked, contact our team right away to get our repair experts on the job.
- Sagging – Another sign you need gutter repair is your gutters sagging or pulling away from your roof. This issue typically occurs when something causes more water to collect in a certain place along the gutters’ length rather than flowing down the spouts like it’s supposed to. The extra weight of the water then causes the gutter to sag, and it can even be enough to pull the gutter off your roof entirely.
- Missing Fasteners – A third sign you need gutter repair services is fasteners such as nails or screws pulling loose from their moorings. These components are essential for keeping your gutters attached to your house, so if they start to come loose, you have a real problem.
