Gutters

1. Cracks
If you have visible cracks in your gutter there may be smaller ones as well allowing for water to flow wherever instead of properly through the gutter. This can lead to washed out landscaping, pooling water around your foundation, and damage to your siding. This completely defeats the purpose of your gutter. If you see cracks it may be time for a gutter repair or replacement.

2. Broken Seams
Broken seams can have similar effects as cracks in your gutter. Broken seams will allow for the water to flow to undesirable locations leading to ineffective gutter which can cause damage to your home.

3. Peeling Paint
Are you seeing peeling or bubbling paint on the exterior of your home? This could be caused by excess moisture. If you see this on multiple areas of your homes exterior check the gutter, it may be a sign it is time for gutter replacement.

4. Rot and Mildew
If you have mildew or moisture problems in your basement or crawlspace, malfunctioning gutters may be to blame. Water accumulation near your foundation seeps into the ground and potentially into your basement or crawl space. If that is already the case, it is time to inspect your gutters for damage and possibly consider replacement.
