Dangers of Not Repairing Your Gutters
Even though gutters might be the furthest thing from your mind when you think of home improvement, they can cause serious damage to your home if left unattended. If you’re having issues with water overflow, the foundation of your house could be in danger. If water continues to run down the sides of the building it can soften the foundation or freeze in cracks causing structural issues. It can also lead to basement flooding. Similarly, overflow can also cause wood to rot. This can lead to your gutters bending or even falling off.
Gutter repair is also crucial because clogged or overflowing gutters can also trap water in the roof. Particularly during the winter months, if the snow can’t melt away from the house, leaks can form in the roof and even in the walls. During the summer months, these gutters become perfect homes for rodents and insects, and if the wood is soft, these critters might make their home in your walls.
