Do you ever wonder about your gutters? Have they been installed properly? What happens if they’re not? A-Plus Seamless Raingutters Inc knows the problems that can occur. Providing rain gutter installations for residential and commercial clients in Wahiawa, HI, they want to give you advance warning of the pitfalls of improper gutter installation.

Here are the four main issues you’re likely to run into if your gutters have been improperly installed:

• Sagging Gutters: When your gutter contractor fails to properly secure your gutters to your home, they can loosen and sag. Some causes of sagging gutters are heavy rainfall, heavy buildup of debris, such as leaves and dirt, or even leaning a ladder against your gutters to do roof repair.
• Structural Problems: The gutters are designed to divert water away from your home. Improperly installed gutters can cause water to run down the exterior of your home. This can lead to leaks and water damage inside your home, the rotting of wooden window and door frames, and cracks and leaks in your foundation.
• Landscape Erosion: Your gutter system consists of gutters and downspouts. The water travels through the gutter to the downspout, where it is directed away from the foundation of your home and your landscape. An incorrectly installed downspout can cause water to collect around the base of your home and wash away the areas of your yard where you worked to make it visually pleasing.
• Roof Damage: When gutters are improperly installed, the water can accumulate and overflow onto your roof. The excess water can cause damage, which can lead to ceiling leaks. It can also get under your roof and result in the rotting of the soffit and fascia of your house.
