Common Issues With Gutters

While proper gutter installation will increase the life of your drainage system, every gutter system has a lifespan. The wear and tear of external conditions will naturally take their toll, especially if you live in a climate where harsh winters are the norm. Some common issues to look out for with your gutters are:

• Clogged gutters – Clogged gutters significantly reduce the ability for your roofing system to properly drain, increasing the chance of water damage.
• Detached gutters – Detached gutters break the chain of a proper drainage system, and will reduce the efficiency of your water distribution throughout your gutters.
• Ice dams – Ice dams occur when slow moving water freezes, completely blocking your gutters from draining. Similar to clogged gutters, this can result in a great deal of larger issues.
• Rusting – If your gutters are rusted, this may be a sign it is time for a completely new gutter system. With rust comes leaks, and leaks present major problems.
• Leaks – Leaks can occur almost anywhere, and can be the result of rust, detached gutters, and almost any other issue with your drainage system.
• Downspouts too close to foundation – Even if your gutters are draining properly, WHERE your gutters drain is just as important. Downspouts too close to the foundation can cause major pooling, weakening your foundation.

All of these issues can cause serious problems for your roofing system, as well as the foundation of your home or commercial building. If you identify any of these issues, take action immediately! Fix the problem as soon as possible, or call Chicagoland Group for and gutter issues that require a professional touch.
