The term “old gutters” is somewhat relative, but there are a few clear signs that your gutters may be past their prime. For example, gutters installed with spikes and ferrules are typically quite old, often around 20 years or more, and this installation method can also lead to issues like rotting fascia.

Significant fading of the exterior color is another indication that your gutters have aged. Additionally, the presence of seams along the length of the gutter can be a sign of an older system.

When we are often called out to inspect gutters for repairs, we discover that a full gutter installation is needed. If you notice your gutters leaking at the seams, it might be time to consider upgrading to seamless gutters for better performance and durability.

  • Gutter hanging off the home – may need a gutter replacement
  • Downspout disconnected from gutter or home
  • Water in basement
  • Water in home
  • Seams leaking or dripping
  • Overflowing gutters – may just need a gutter cleaning

  • Spike & ferrules pulling away from the gutter where you can see the nail head popping out
  • Lines in your landscape below the gutter
  • Mold in areas below where gutters are, or should be
  • Rotting deck boards, windowsills, garage doors, and regular doors below where gutters are, or should be
  • Erosion in landscape or mulch beds
  • Cracking or upheaval of sidewalks, patios, driveways and stairs
  • Paint flaking or peeling prematurely in areas near the base of the home
  • Dips or back pitch in gutters

A gutter system that is installed correctly and receives regular cleanings and maintenance or is protected with gutter guards can last as long as 30 years. In contrast, gutters that are neglected and not properly maintained typically fail within 10 to 15 years.

Cleaning and Repair – Which do I Need? 

Addressing overflow issues is crucial because ongoing runoff can result in serious and costly problems for your home, such as water damage, flooding, and harm to your foundation. When you schedule an evaluation, our professionally trained staff will assess whether your gutter system simply needs cleaning or if the overflow is caused by other factors that might require repair or replacement. Every home is different, so the best solution for your gutters is never one-size-fits-all; a thorough and professional assessment is essential to determine the right approach.

If you’re experiencing gutter overflow, reach out to The Brothers that just do Gutters for a free estimate. You can rely on us to accurately diagnose your situation and recommend the most effective solution for your home.

Overflowing water at or near the downspout is a clear indication that your gutters need cleaning, as it usually means there is a blockage in the downspout preventing water from flowing through properly.

Whereas, overflow that is occurring in the middle of a gutter, and/or at the opposite end of a downspout typically indicates the need for a repair or reinstall because this could: 

  1. be a sign of a pitch issue
  2. mean your gutters are too small
  3. mean there are not enough leaders or downspouts
  4. be your gutters are sagging/pulling from your home due to age, or install issues 

Other indications that you have overflow issues: 

  • Stained or cracked walls, siding, or foundation 
  • Pooling by your foundation 
  • Visible overflow from the front of the gutter or between the fascia and gutter in the rain 

There are also more obvious signs to watch for. For example, if your downspout connects to an underground drain and you notice that the area around the drain remains wet, this usually means the drain is clogged. While these signs can be helpful in identifying potential issues with your gutter system, it is not uncommon for homeowners to misidentify the true cause of their gutter problems.

Hail Damage Repair for Your Gutter System

Hail storms can cause significant damage to both cars and homes, with roofs being particularly vulnerable. After such a storm, many homeowners begin inspecting their roofs, but it’s essential not to overlook the gutter system, which is also at risk. Since repairing hail damage to gutters can be expensive, having a professional assess the situation is wise; they can determine whether a full replacement would be more cost-effective in the long run.

Given the potential costs involved, it is highly recommended that you contact your insurance company. Working alongside a reputable roofing company can help ensure that the full extent of the damage is properly evaluated and addressed. This collaborative approach allows both parties to assess accurately what your home has endured.

You might consider installing a gutter guard to help prevent future damage. The most effective mesh guards are constructed from thicker and stronger materials than the gutters themselves, offering added protection.

After any severe weather event- whether it’s a hail storm, tornado, flood, or heavy rainfall-inspecting your home for damage is crucial. If your roof has sustained harm, your gutters likely have as well. Brothers Gutters has extensive experience handling hail damage repairs and operates in many major hail-prone regions, including Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, and beyond.
