Finding gutter problems before they need major repairs is essential. Rainwater spilling over the edges of your gutters or the presence of rust and corrosion are both indications that your gutters are deteriorating and in need of gutter repair. Uneven or sagging gutters, which might be the result of trash accumulation or trapped water, are another warning sign. Water leaking from the gutters can cause external problems such as peeling paint and water stains. Gutter life may be prolonged with routine cleaning and maintenance, as can the lifespan of any home protection system.
A gutter system that is properly installed and maintained by regular gutter cleanings or maintenance or protected with gutter guards should last up to 30 years. Gutters that have not been properly maintained usually fail between 10 and 15 years.
