Why Gutter Replacement Matters for Your Home

January 20, 2026

Gutters may not be the most glamorous part of your home, but they play a critical role in protecting your property. When gutters fail, the consequences can be expensive.

Protecting Your Foundation

Gutters direct water away from your home's foundation. Without functioning gutters, rainwater pools around the base of your home, leading to foundation cracks, basement flooding, and soil erosion.

Preventing Roof Damage

Clogged or damaged gutters cause water to back up under your roof's edge. Over time, this leads to fascia rot, soffit damage, and can even compromise your roof deck.

When to Replace Instead of Repair

While minor gutter issues can sometimes be fixed, there are clear signs that replacement is the better option:

  • Multiple sections are sagging or pulling away from the house
  • Visible cracks, holes, or rust throughout the system
  • Water is overflowing even after cleaning
  • Your gutters are more than 20 years old
