Your gutters do one critical job: move rainwater away from your home. When they fail, water gets into the fascia, siding, and foundation. Many Baltimore homeowners don’t notice gutter damage until it’s already caused expensive harm. Here are five warning signs you should never ignore.
until it becomes a major expense. Here are five warning signs you should never ignore.
“Every major gutter repair I get called for started as something small—a loose hanger, a dripping seam. Water always finds the path of least resistance, and in Maryland that usually means straight into the fascia.” — Stanley Mattatall, Owner — Gutters Baltimore
Cracked or Deteriorated Mortar Joints
Mortar is designed to wear out faster than brick, but it must be replaced (resealing) to prevent moisture from reaching the wood behind the fascia. If you can scrape mortar away with your fingernail, it's overdue for repair.
Resealing gutter joints costs a fraction of fascia board replacement.
Rusty Damper or Accessories
A stiff or corroded damper is a clear indicator of moisture where it shouldn't be. It likely means your gutters are overflowing against the siding, allowing moisture to wick into the wood framing.
Replace the gutter system and add downspout extensions to direct water further from the house.
