Frequently asked questions
When gutters overflow, water is not effectively directed away from the house. This can lead to several potential problems:
Foundation Damage: Excess water can pool around the foundation, leading to cracks and structural damage.
Roof Damage: Overflowing water can seep under the roof shingles, causing leaks and water damage to the roof structure.
Siding and Fascia Damage: Water overflowing from the gutters can damage the siding and fascia boards, leading to rot and deterioration.
Basement Flooding: If the gutters fail to channel water away from the foundation, it may lead to basement flooding.
To avoid these issues, it's crucial to ensure your gutters are clean and in good working condition, and the downspouts are properly directing water away from your home.
In Green Bay, it's recommended to clean your gutters at least twice a year, once in the spring and again in the fall. Spring cleaning removes debris accumulated over winter, ensuring your gutters are prepared for spring rains. Fall cleaning clears out fallen leaves and prepares your gutters for snow and ice, helping to prevent ice dams.​
If your home is surrounded by trees, especially pine trees that shed needles year-round, or if you've recently experienced a heavy storm, more frequent cleanings may be necessary. Regular maintenance prevents clogs, protects your home's foundation, and extends the lifespan of your gutter system.​
Consider Our Gutter Maintenance Plan
To simplify this process, we offer a Gutter Maintenance Plan tailored for homeowners in the Green Bay area. This plan includes scheduled cleanings, thorough inspections, and priority service to ensure your gutters remain in optimal condition year-round. By enrolling, you can prevent unexpected issues, save on potential repair costs, and enjoy peace of mind knowing your home is protected from water damage.​
Gutters should drain away from your home's foundation to protect against water damage, soil erosion, and basement flooding. The best practice is to direct water at least 4 to 6 feet away from your home using downspout extensions or splash blocks.
Avoid allowing water to pool near the base of your home, as this can weaken the foundation and lead to costly repairs. Proper gutter drainage is essential for maintaining your home’s structural integrity, especially in areas like Green Bay, where heavy rain and snowmelt can quickly overwhelm poor drainage systems.
The lifespan of your gutters depends on the material and maintenance, but most systems last between 20 to 30 years with proper care. However, there are key signs that indicate it may be time for a gutter replacement:
Visible Damage: Cracks, holes, rust spots, or peeling paint can signal that your gutters are no longer protecting your home effectively.
Frequent Clogging: Constant build-up of leaves and debris, even with regular cleaning, may suggest your gutters are outdated or improperly pitched.
Sagging or Separation: If gutters are pulling away from your roofline or sagging in the middle, it’s a sign of wear or damage to the fasteners and structure.
Water Damage: Staining on siding, pooling water near the foundation, or basement leaks often stem from failing gutter systems.
If you're experiencing any of these issues, it may be time to consider new K-style or modern box gutters, we specialize in both here in the Green Bay area.
