The importance of effective guttering shouldn’t be underestimated. Your guttering is an important part of your home and plays an integral part in directing water away from your home’s exterior walls and infrastructure. Keeping on top of gutter maintenance is a wise move but it is likely that your guttering system may have to be replaced at some point.

If your guttering system is experiencing any of the following signs, it’s likely that you require new guttering:
• Cracks or splits
• Water overflow
• Peeling Paint
• Erosion/Pooled Water
• Guttering Pulling Away
Let’s get into the key details of each sign to look out for…
Cracks or splits
Have you noticed cracks in your gutters? Although small cracks may not initially seem like a big issue, problems with cracks and splits can quickly escalate to the point where damage may be irreversible. If you ignore cracks or splits, water can escalate and damage the fascias and boards behind the gutters and affect the foundations. If you have noticed a few or several cracks in your guttering system, it’s highly recommended to get them checked out and consider new guttering before it’s too late.
Water Overflow
Water is not supposed to overflow from your gutters during heavy rain or rainstorms. If you have noticed that your gutters are overflowing during adverse weather conditions, particularly during the winter months, this suggests that your guttering system is not effectively deterring water away from your home as it should be. There are many reasons that gutters can overflow. The most common reasons include; clogged up gutters, sagging gutters, and damaged gutters.
Peeling Paint
One of the most obvious and visual signs that a guttering system may need replacing is when you identify peeling paint on your gutter. Peeling paint from a gutter is usually a clear indicator that water is overflowing or leaking. Moisture exposure can cause the paint to deteriorate and leave unsightly stains. Peeling paint is typical on old guttering systems but can also occur on poor quality and newly installed guttering systems. If you identify peeling paint, we recommend taking immediate action.
Inspect / Pest Infestations
It’s no secret that clogged or damaged gutters can become attractive breeding grounds for insects and pests. This may include rodents, mosquitoes and termites. Pests are usually attracted to dirty and faulty guttering systems, making themselves a home, which can have a detrimental impact on the productivity of your guttering system. If you notice a sudden influx or increase in pests, it’s important to first remove them (ideally using a pest control company) and then consider if you need repair or replacement.
Guttering Pulling Away
Your guttering pulling away or sagging is one of the easiest ways to identify that your gutter needs replacing / a new system installed. Gutters aren’t designed to pull away or sag from your home’s exterior and if they do, this is a clear sign that your system is experiencing serious issues that need attention. This can happen over time due to ageing, heavy rainfall, or improper installation.
