Why Gutters Are Important

Gutters are more important than you think.

In Southeast Michigan, where heavy rain, snowmelt, and freeze-thaw cycles are common, properly functioning gutters are essential to protect your home. Gutters play a critical role in directing water away from your foundation, preventing costly issues like erosion, basement leaks, and structural damage. Without a reliable gutter system, water can pool around your home and eventually lead to foundation cracks, interior moisture, and long-term instability.

Faulty or clogged gutters can also cause exterior damage, such as rotting fascia boards, mold growth, and rust stains on siding or brick. Standing water in damaged gutters attracts pests like mosquitoes and carpenter ants, while overflowing water can ruin landscaping and walkways. Replacing or upgrading your gutters is one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your home from Michigan’s harsh and unpredictable weather.

Signs You Need Gutters

If your gutters are over 20 years old, leaking, sagging, or attached to rotted or unpainted fascia, it’s likely time for replacement. Dents, loose sections, and outdated nail fasteners are also signs your system isn’t protecting your home like it should.

Visible Leaks

If you notice water dripping or spilling from your gutters during or after rain, it’s a clear sign something’s wrong. Leaks often form at seams, joints, or small cracks, and over time, they can lead to serious issues like foundation erosion, mold, and basement water intrusion. Addressing leaks early helps prevent more costly damage to your home.

Visible Damage

Gutters that are cracked, bent, sagging, or pulling away from the house aren’t just cosmetic issues—they’re signs your system isn’t doing its job. Damaged gutters can cause water to overflow and soak into your siding, fascia, or foundation, leading to rot and structural issues. Replacing damaged sections ensures proper drainage and protects your home long term.
