Keeping your gutters in good shape is one way to protect your home against water damage. If they are loose, you must contact professionals immediately. Pros will be able to determine what's wrong with the gutter system. They will know whether repairs or a replacement is necessary.  

Here are common signs you have loose gutters. 

 

Sagging

The most obvious indication of loose gutters is sagging. When in good condition, gutters will look straight. Simply go outside and look at your home from a distance to determine if they are sagging. If you notice unevenness, schedule an inspection right away. 

 

Spout on Gutters

Neglected gutters are more likely to develop clogs. Standing water in your gutters can cause lips or spouts to form. This issue can also occur due to fallen tree branches or debris. The best way to address this problem is to add new hardware around the lip. 

 

Gaps

Gutters can detach from the wall when their brackets come loose. You'll have to walk around your home to determine if there are gaps behind your gutters. Can you see the sky between your gutters and exterior walls? If so, it means your gutters are loose and you need to have them repaired. 

 

Leaning

Excessive exposure to water can severely damage your fascia board. As a result, it won't be able to hold the gutters, which will start to lean. Unfortunately, it means your gutters are gradually separating or falling off your house. Prompt action is necessary to avoid accidents and costly home repairs.
