Gutters can be a great addition to many homes. They help maintain the quality of your roof by deterring water and directing runoff to help protect and maintain your roof. Often times, your gutters may need maintenance, some of the most common causes of gutter problems are:
· Debris build up – over time debris from trees begins to collect on the siding and downspouts, causing a clogged gutter system. Not properly maintaining the gutters can lead to costly repairs. It is important to keep your gutters clear of all debris, particularly if you have a number of trees surrounding your home area.
· Improper alignment (pitch) – if not aligned properly, this can cause a buildup of water on certain places in the gutter system. During heavy rains, the gathering of all that water can put pressure on the gutters, causing it them to sag and slip from its joints.
· Leakage from cracked joints – joints on the gutters (especially in corners where two gutters meet) can start to slip, causing water to fall through these problem spots. It is important to repair the joints so that you get the correct flow, and prevent the water from draining into unwanted sections of your home. The heavy downpour from these cracks can often times ruin landscape around your home.
