3. Signs Your Gutters Need Replacement Visible Cracks, Splits, or Rust Spots • A tiny crack might look like a minor issue, but the water has a way of finding and exploiting weak points. • Cracks, splits, or rust spots usually mean: • Water is escaping before it reaches the downspout • Fascia boards are getting soaked • Paint and siding are slowly deteriorating • With older metal gutters, rust often starts small and spreads quietly. PVC gutters may crack over time due to exposure to sunlight. sunshineguttersgold.com

4. Gutters Pulling Away orSagging • Ever notice a gutter line that doesn’t look straight anymore? That’s not just an aesthetic issue. Sagging or detached gutters usually signal: • Failing brackets or hangers • Water pools instead of overflowing • Structural stress from years of debris buildup • In many cases, the gutter isn’t the only thing struggling. The fascia behind it may also be compromised. Reattaching a failing system is often a temporary fix at best. • sunshineguttersgold.com

5. Peeling Paint or Water Stains on Exterior Walls • Your gutters exist to control water flow. When they fail, the evidence shows up on your home’s exterior first. • Watch for: • Peeling or bubbling paint near the roofline • Dark streaks on siding • Water stains beneath the gutter run • These signs mean water is escaping where it shouldn’t, either through leaks, overflowing sections, or poor alignment. Over time, that moisture can seep behind walls and damage insulation or framing. sunshineguttersgold.com

6. Pooling Water or FoundationIssues • This one’s serious. Gutters don’t just protect your roof. They protect your foundation. • If you notice: • Water is pooling near your home after rain • Soil erosion around the base of your house • Basement dampness or musty smells • There’s a good chance your gutter system isn’t directing water far enough away. Older systems often lack proper pitch, sufficient downspouts, or the capacity to handle today’s heavier rainfall patterns. sunshineguttersgold.com

7. Frequent Repairs That Never Seem to Last • Here’s an honest question: how many times have you fixed the same gutter problem? • If you’re: • Resealing joints every season • Replacing hangers repeatedly • Cleaning debris only to see overflow again • It might be time to step back and look at the bigger picture. Constant repairs often cost more over time than installing a new, appropriately sized, modern gutter system. • This is often the final sign homeowners notice before deciding on replacement. sunshineguttersgold.com
