M&J Seamless Gutters is a go-to installer for gutters in Manchester, NH. That being said, we have seen every bad case of gutter repairs and damage imaginable, and 24-hour services often leave us with the worst scenarios possible for our customers. We have conjured a list of some of the most common causes of gutter damage, and some possible solutions to remedy their destruction.
- Ice. One that we see a lot in the winter is ice damage. Between ice dams, and overall frozen gutter spouts, the expansion ice causes can cause cracking and ultimately destroy gutters. Be sure your roof is properly insulated to avoid ice dams and clear your gutters of debris before the winter begins.
- Pests. If you can find small rodents in your home, you can certainly find them in your gutters, especially when they are not cleaned often enough. Nests are easy to make of leaves and other insulated materials for small creatures, and can cause extensive damage to your gutters.
- Broken seams. Seams can easily come apart with age and reek havoc on your gutter system. Luckily when you purchase gutters through M&J, we will give you seamless options as to avoid this issue happening again.
- Leaning ladders against gutters during cleaning. Don’t think we don’t notice. Gutters aren’t meant to hold the weight of a ladder or a human body, and leaning both of those items against it can cause splits and cracks.
- Storm damage. New Hampshire is known for mature trees and rough weather. Branches and other items can easily fall on your gutter system and before you know it, you need to replace entire sections. Cut limbs away from your home as to protect your gutters and your roof.
- Defects in installation. Pitches and poorly placed spouts can cause issues to other areas of your home, or only damage your gutters. In either case, they are an extra expense that could be avoided if repaired to a quality standard.
