When do I need to replace my gutters?

When it comes to gutters, it all boils down to function and performance. Your gutters need to be in top condition to effectively direct water away from your house. This prevents water to stagnate and overflow during a downspout. It cannot do its job when it's filled with debris. What you don't know is that those dried leaves and twigs that are choking off your gutters can be a fire hazard too on a dry, hot, and sunny day.

Your gutters degrade much faster than your roof but it doesn't mean that it needs to be replaced right away. The trick here is to spot the problem early on and treat it the soonest time possible before it gets worse. It's like being diagnosed with stage 1 cancer. You will seek treatment early on and prevent it from spreading and not wait for it to get worse before you even do something about it.

Small holes and minor cracks can be easily fixed with a high-quality sealant. Keeping your gutters clean will also help prevent water and moisture accumulation which may lead to rusting.

There are times, however, when a quick fix is no longer the best option for your gutter. A complete gutter replacement is necessary when your gutters are riddled with holes and huge cracks, and is covered with molds and rust. It is important that you hire a trusted professional for your gutter replacement. Fly-by-nighters are everywhere and are just looking for the perfect opportunity to prey on property owners here in Mackay who are in need of a service. Want to know how to spot an inexperienced handyman? Ask for proof of work that they have completed around the area. If you asked for a portfolio and cringe at the sound of it, then you better not waste another word and look for a true-blue gutter replacement expert who is not afraid to show you proof of their completed projects. 

Our team will not promise you heaven and earth and charge you astronomical rates. Let's face it: most contractors do a poor job which means you will have to dig into your back pocket again and pay them all over again for a rework. What we can only guarantee is that we deliver the service that you truly need and get the job done right the first time. If you would like to know whether your gutters need a simple repair or total replacement, call us at 07 4277 7726 for a free assessment.

What happens when you ignore damaged gutters?

Gutters are an essential part of your roofing system. Your gutters are one of the first things everyone notices when they look at your house. You wouldn't want to be the talk of the town because you have a dilapidated gutter system now, would you?

As we have mentioned earlier, damaged gutters can cause serious issues to your property. When rainwater is not channeled out properly, it will pool around the foundations, leading to structural damage. 

If your gutters are riddled with holes and cracks, they will leak everywhere, leaving rusty or worse, moldy streaks on your walls. Imagine the dirt and fecal matter that possums and vermin leave in your gutter that is supposed to be washed away by the rain down the downspout but then you feel that water dripping on your face because of the holes and cracks in your gutter. That is so disgusting!

Damaged gutters must never be ignored. Do not wait until it gets to stage four cancer levels before you act and have your gutters replaced.
