Looking for gutter repair or installation?

Important Part of Exterior

Gutters are one of the important exterior features of a home. Their purpose is to direct storm water away from the home’s walls, doors, windows and foundation to prevent the water from getting inside. While cleaning your gutters will help to prolong the service life of your gutter system, most will eventually need repair or replacement to adequately protect the home.

When it’s time to call Joseph-James Enterprises

Watch for these common signs that indicate it could be time to call Joseph-James Enterprises to fix or replace your gutters:

Cracks & Splits

Although minor cracks in gutters might not appear to be a cause for concern, they will eventually become larger cracks. If left unresolved cracks will allow water to do damage to the gutters, the fascia boards in back of the gutters, the shingles above the gutters and perhaps the foundation

Mildew Forming Around The Foundation Of Your Home

Gutters are made to keep rain water moving away from a home’s foundation. If you are noticing puddles of water or mildew forming around your foundation, it can be a sign that the gutters aren’t functioning properly. This could be due to a clog or a defect within the gutters.

Water Damage Underneath The Gutters

Take a look at your gutters once per year on a clear day. If you spot water marks beneath the gutters, it’s a sign that overflowing water is spilling out. This can lead to damage to the fascia board and soffit.

Sagging Gutters

This is among the most obvious signs that you need gutter repair or replacement. Gutters in proper condition should not sag or lean away from your house. This can be a sign the gutters are filled with rain water and sagging because of the weight.

If you’re seeing any of the signs, give the gutter experts at Joseph-James a call for prompt, affordable services at 630-882-9244.
