5 Signs You Need a New Gutter System
Commonly Used Gutter Materials
Vinyl Gutters
Vinyl material is the most inexpensive gutter material on the market. It doesn’t rot or rust but can bend and bow under excessive rain, wind, and snow loads.
Aluminum
Aluminum is one of the most used gutter materials due to its durability, low cost, and lightweight.
Steel
Steels are also a popularly-used guttering material. Galvanized steel lasts 8 to 15 years before it rusts whereas stainless steel never rusts
Zinc
Zinc can be expensive compared to all the other materials mentioned above. Zinc expands and contracts when the temperature changes, so the installation process is different.
Copper
Copper is the best option if your budget is high – it never rusts and can last up to 100 years in any climate.

Benefits of New Gutter Installation
- Prevent Home Decay – Water leakage is the most common reason for home damage. If you don’t have a proper guttering system, the raindrops can sneak into different parts of the house causing decay.
- Eliminate Insects – If you don’t have a proper waterway installed, water might find a place in damp areas which would be a great breeding ground for mosquitoes and other pests.
- Guard Your Home Against Mold – Mold is difficult to remove and very damaging to your home if not treated correctly. Not having proper gutters can lead to water and moisture collection leading to mold growth.
- Protect Your Yard – In the rainy season, the water drops that land on your roof will surely run off into your yard if you don’t have gutters and downspouts installed. Excess amounts of water can damage your landscaping, erode soil, and can even damage your siding and home foundations.
- Avoid Basement Flooding – When you don’t have gutters, water can slip through your home’s foundation and make a way to your basement causing flooding problems. Eavestroughs and downspouts can direct the water to a safer place.
Investing in gutters is one of the best investments you can make for your home. It will help prevent several types of damage.
