Your gutters work hard to protect your home. They do their job by moving rainwater away from your roof, walls, and foundation. But over time, gutters can wear out—and when they do, cleaning them just isn’t enough. So how do you know when to stop cleaning and start thinking about replacing?
At Next Day Gutters, we’ve helped thousands of homeowners get reliable gutters that last. Here are 5 signs that it might be time to replace your gutters:
1. You See Cracks or Holes
A few small cracks might not seem like a big deal, but water can sneak through them and cause damage to your home. Cracks can grow over time, and by the time you notice a problem inside, it’s already too late. If you see any holes, splits, or cracks—big or small—it’s time to get them checked out.
2. Your Gutters Are Pulling Away
Gutters should be snug against your house. If they’re hanging loose, sagging, or pulling away, they’re probably not doing their job. This can happen when the fasteners wear out or the wood behind the gutter gets damaged. If they won’t stay in place, a replacement is usually the best fix.
3. Peeling Paint or Rust Spots
Are you seeing rust, bubbling paint, or peeling around your gutters? That’s a sign water is getting where it shouldn’t. This can lead to rot and mold. A fresh set of seamless gutters can stop the damage before it gets worse.
4. Basement or Foundation Problems
Gutters that don’t drain properly can cause water to pool around your home’s foundation. That can lead to cracks, leaks, or even flooding in your basement. If you’ve been dealing with water in your basement, old or clogged gutters might be the cause.
5. Waterfall Effect When It Rains
If water is pouring over the edge of your gutters during a rainstorm, something’s wrong. It could be a clog—but if you’ve cleaned them and it still happens, your gutters might be too small or worn out to keep up. New gutters will keep water flowing where it belongs.
