When most homeowners think about water damage, they often picture a leaking roof or a burst pipe. But one of the most common and overlooked causes of costly water damage is actually right along the edge of your roof: your gutters. At Acro Contractor, we’ve seen firsthand how outdated or failing gutter systems can silently wreak havoc on a home, leading to structural issues, mold growth, and expensive repairs.

If your gutters are old, sagging, or clogged, they may not be doing their job. And that job is simple but critical: guiding water away from your home.

Why Gutters Matter

Gutters are your home’s first line of defense against water infiltration. When working properly, they collect rainwater and melting snow from your roof and direct it safely away from your siding, foundation, and landscaping. But when your gutters are outdated, damaged, or full of debris, water can spill over the edges and pool in all the wrong places.

Over time, that water can:

• Erode your home’s foundation

• Rot fascia boards and roof edges

• Cause basement flooding

• Lead to mold and mildew inside your home

• Destroy landscaping and flower beds

• Stain siding and walls

What starts as a small issue can quickly spiral into a major headache and major expense.

Signs Your Gutters May Be Failing

If you’re unsure whether your gutters are still doing their job, here are a few warning signs to look out for:

• Visible cracks, holes, or rust: Small openings in the gutters can cause leaks that send water straight down your exterior walls or into your foundation.

• Sagging or pulling away from the house: This often means your gutters are holding too much weight from debris or standing water.

• Peeling paint or water stains: These could indicate water is escaping where it shouldn’t be.

• Pools of water near your foundation after rain: If water isn’t being properly directed away, it will collect around your home’s base, which can cause shifting or cracking.
