Identifying Bad Gutters

room being painted redDo you own a home in need of home repair? If so, you have gutters around the roof of your home that help to drain the rain during a storm. Gutters don’t always get the job done because of debris, leaves, pinecones and other objects could be blogging the downspouts and drains. This doesn’t allow for proper drainage of rain, which could lead to roofing problems, leakage problems inside your home and much more.


How do you know that your gutters are performing up to par? That’s an easy answer: grab a ladder, climb to the roof, and check for debris inside the gutter. Debris can include dead animals, leaves, pinecones and other objects such as baseballs and tennis balls. You never know what your children are doing when playing outside.


Hopefully this checklist will help you decipher whether or not you have bad home gutters in need of home repair:


• Dripping water inside the house. If you notice water stains on your ceilings or walls throughout the house, your gutters are not getting the job done, causing water to leak into the house. These leaks can also cause cracks in the foundation inside your house.
• Cracks in the pavement outside your home. Gutters usually drain water onto the grass and away from the sidewalks and driveway on your property. If gutters aren’t performing correctly, the driveway and the sidewalks on your property will have wet spots and will develop cracks from the constant running water.
• Black ice. If you notice that on your sidewalks and driveway there continues to be black ice even a couple of days following a storm, the cause could be poor drainage from your home gutters.
• Discovery of mold. If you discover mold anywhere in your home, this could be a result of poor home gutters. How so? Gutters that do not drain properly cause water to pool in bad areas, which can cause mold behind the walls of your home.
• Foundation of home is sinking. If the foundation of your home is sinking then you might have bad gutters. Yet again, water pools in bad areas, loosens the ground, and causes the foundation of your home to sink into the ground.


All of these problems are major warning signs that you have bad home gutters and should have them repaired or replaced with new ones. Please contact the expert home improvement staff of Global Home Improvement today for all of your gutter system repair or installation needs.

  • Christina Althoug I can't say I enjoyed having to take my cat the the emergency clinic in the middle of the night, I can say that ACCES was amazing. They took care of my kitty AND me. Their standard of medical care is top-notch. I felt very confiden in the doctors and staff there. They kept me updated on my pet at all times, and really did save my cat's life. The facility is clean and doesn't smell, and the receptionist was very warm and calm in a stressful situation. I highly recommend.

  • DOLLAR TREE 551 NE Midway Blvd Ste 1, Oak Harbor WA
    Tanya I always look for good bargains, and how can you pass up a dollar store when doing that? Most dollar stores tend to have low quality products, but I knew at once that Dollar Tree was different. When I go grocery shopping, I make a stop at Dollar Tree and spend twenty to thirty dollars on their food. Some of the packages are smaller, yes, but quite often it is actually high quality food! I end up with three or four extra bags of groceries while only having spent a small amount. I made the best fudge I've ever had with four dollars! The staff has always been very helpful and friendly as well, and I've never had any issues. Sometimes the lines can get a bit long, but that has been the only drawback I've seen. I highly recommend Dollar Tree to anyone searching for a good way to save money.
