However, it will encounter damage over the years due to exposure to the elements. Thankfully, there are many ways to slow down or even prevent your gutters from getting damaged.

Clean Your Gutters Regularly

It’s quite common to find debris and dirt lodged in your gutters. As a result, it clogs it up and causes spillovers or even pooling water. Since water splashes against your home’s exterior and seeps within the eaves, water damage becomes even more likely. To prevent small and even serious issues from occurring, it can be solved by having your gutters cleaned regularly.

Install Gutter Guards

Your gutter and roofing contractor would tell you that gutter guards are a great addition to your home as it protects your system from leaves and debris buildup. In turn, this prevents congestion and clogging from occurring since it only allows rainwater into your gutters. However, before installing gutter guards, make sure that the ones you’re purchasing are compatible with your current system.

Keep Your Gutters Sturdy

You can secure and fasten your gutters by ensuring that the brackets are attached well to the gutters along the roofline. In turn, this prevents your gutters from loosening or getting torn off during severe weather events. When you spot issues with your gutters, make sure that it is replaced or repaired immediately.
