It is a good idea to inspect your gutters often to make sure they are functioning. Here’s what you need to look out for to determine if a replacement is required.

Any peeling paint around or on your gutters. As the paint is designed to withstand normal wear and tear, any signs of paint peeling or orange flecks are indicators the water isn’t being removed correctly from the gutter.

This can lead to time consuming and costly repairs if not discovered early.
