Here at Pristine Gutters, we are passionate about guttering. However, even we can admit that there are a lot more glamorous and exciting parts of your home than the guttering. That said, it is, without a doubt, a hugely essential part of the regular working of your home. This means that if the guttering became damaged, it could be a serious problem and will need addressing urgently.

So, how do you know if your guttering needs replacing or repairing? In this blog post we have put together some of the signs that your guttering needs replacing. If you spot any of these things when looking at your guttering, call our guttering team immediately.

These are the most common signs that it is times for your guttering to be replaced:

Your guttering should be attached to the fascia board or in some cases rise and fall brackets. However, if you can see it beginning to peel off the

fascia, you need to call in the experts. Guttering that is coming away from the fascia will no longer function as it needs to, to protect your home.

It doesn’t matter if your guttering is plastic or metal, it can still be susceptible to cracking or holes. If you have noticed holes, cracks or leaking through your guttering this means that it is damaged. You will need to get it looked at as soon as possible. If left, the damage could become more serious and more expensive.

Have you spotted pieces of your guttering on the ground? This could be small little pieces, chunks or full lengths of guttering for example. You may also spot screws, nails or guttering fasteners on the floor. These are all signs that your guttering needs replacing.

Water Damage or Water Markings

Have you seen water pouring from your gutters? Maybe you can see water marks on your walls around your guttering? These are both signs of damaged guttering that will need repairing or replacing. The longer it is left, the worse the damage will become and the more it will cost to repair or replace it.

By keeping an eye on your guttering and looking out for these signs that your guttering needs replacing, you can get ahead of any potential damage to your property and reduce potential costs of gutter maintenance too.
