Gutters aren’t something most homeowners think about—until there’s a problem. One of the most common issues we see at J&A Exterior is sagging gutters, and while they may not seem like a big deal, the damage they can cause is no joke.
What Causes Gutters to Sag?
✅ Age and Wear
Over time, fasteners and brackets can loosen or corrode, especially in Michigan’s tough seasons.
✅ Clogged Gutters
Heavy buildup of leaves, debris, and standing water adds unnecessary weight, pulling the gutters away from your home.
✅ Poor Installation
If gutters aren’t installed with proper pitch and support, sagging is just a matter of time.
Why Sagging Gutters Are a Serious Problem
💧 Improper Water Flow
When your gutters sag, water doesn’t flow correctly to your downspouts. This can lead to overflowing gutters that pour water directly next to your foundation.
🧱 Foundation Damage
Too much water around the base of your home can cause cracks, shifting, and major structural issues. This kind of repair isn’t cheap.
🦟 Pest and Mold Issues
Stagnant water in sagging gutters is the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes, mold, and even rodents.
🏠 Roof & Fascia Damage
Sagging gutters often pull on your fascia board and roofline, leading to rot and costly roofing repairs.
Don’t Ignore the Signs
If you see your gutters pulling away, dipping in the middle, or water spilling over in the rain, it’s time to call in the pros. A quick repair now can save you thousands later.
