You’re probably thinking, “Smart homeowners don’t have to look for gutter repair in Santa Rosa. Smart homeowners keep their gutters clean and maintained in the first place.” But there are many legitimate reasons that even the smartest homeowners need gutter repair. These are just a few.
House Settling
When a home’s foundation settles, seamed gutters can be strained, pulling the sections slightly apart, causing the seams to leak. Settling is common. Over time, it can happen in any home, and it’s not the homeowner’s fault. It is, however, a reason to call for gutter repair if settling has caused your gutter seams to leak.
Poor Installation
Leaking seams can also be caused by poor gutter installation. Once again, this is not necessarily the homeowner’s fault, but it’s still a reason to get your gutters fixed before the problem gets worse. You may not be able to tell whether the seams are leaking because of poor gutter installation or because of a house that has settled, but either way, the gutters will need repair.
Previous Homeowners Let Gutters Rust
The previous owners of your home may not have kept their gutters clean. (It surely wasn’t you!) They may have let leaves and other debris sit in the gutters for prolonged periods of time. When that debris blocks water from running out the downspout, many types of gutter will rust. Not taking care of rust leads to holes and leaks. Rust is a reason to call ARS right away before a repair turns into a replacement.
