Gutters and leaders are integral parts of good building construction. They collect rain from your roof and direct the water away from your home to prevent flooding, foundation damage, and mold growth. Deferred maintenance and cleaning can cause your gutters to fail. If you notice any of these signs, call a professional to replace them.

3 Signs You Should Replace the Gutters & Leaders

1. Rotting Foundation

If your gutters and leaders are weak, rainwater won’t be guided away from your home. Instead, it will pour down the siding. Over time, your foundation will deteriorate and rot. Replacing the system with TruGuard® gutters will ensure rain is routed properly. Their SmartClip™ attachment brackets use patented G-Force® technology to create a stronger attachment to your home so water doesn’t reach the foundation.

2. Sagging Gutters 

If your gutters become too clogged, eventually, they will sag under the weight of debris and pull away from your home. In this case, it’s more cost-effective to invest in a new system. TruGuard gutters utilize a revolutionary nose-forward design that keeps out debris while allowing a continuous flow of water. They’re even backed with a lifetime warranty.

3. Roof Leaks

Rain that has nowhere to go will pool on the roof and eventually leak through it. Stagnant water can ruin your home’s interior, destroy the insulation, and cause mold growth. TruGuard gutters keep your roof intact; you don’t have to puncture the shingles in the installation process. The gutters are anchored through the fascia board where your roof meets the outer wall.
