If your gutter is damaged or leaking, you may feel tempted to fix it yourself, but this is a job best left to the professionals. While it may seem like an easy task, there are many variables you may not be equipped to handle, resulting in damage to the exterior of your home. Let’s take a closer look at why a gutter repair should always be performed by a qualified professional.
Understanding The Slope
Gutters may look like they are horizontal to the ground, but they actually have a carefully calculated slope that allows the water to flow into the downspout and away from your home. Improperly accounting for this slope can compromise the integrity of your gutter and lead to a leaking gutter, costing you more in the long run.
Accurate Spacing
Every gutter is attached with a hanger, which must be placed accurately to ensure the systems effectiveness. Trying to figure out this placement on your own may cause sagging and eventually cracking as the gutter cannot withstand the weight of the elements.
Effective Performance
Your gutters are designed to redirect water away from your home, helping to avoid costly damage. Trying to perform your own gutter repair can lead to a host of problems, including rusting, pulling, snapping, and a leaking gutter.
