Intense storm systems are not rare in the Austin area, bringing wind, hail, and heavy rain. A roof gutter system must have the capacity to handle a large volume of rainwater to protect the roof, siding, and foundation.
Signs you need new gutters
Most gutter systems, when installed correctly, last for 20 years or longer. If any of the following problems are visible, new gutters should be installed as quickly as possible:
- Cracks, splits in gutter seams
- Peeling paint on gutters
- Peeling or flaking paint
- Pooling water at foundation
- Mildew on foundation area
- Wood rot on exterior
