Homeowners spend so much time and effort protecting their home from the natural elements. From the entire roof down to your gutters, keeping everything up to par is crucial to keep the structure of your house strong. It may not seem like a ton but your gutters provide a huge role to the entire roofing system. If they become damaged they can result in water damage, roof damage, ice dams, and rotting interior walls.
The lifespan of your gutters will vary depending on specific conditions and previous maintenance. All homeowners should clean out their gutters two times a year to ensure your gutter system is working properly.
Top 10 Sings You May Need To Replace Gutters:
- Gutters have dented, bent, holes and cracked
- Gutters started to pull away or sag from the house
- Mold is appearing in basement
- Water leaking into basement
- Home foundation cracks
- Paint in home starts to peel & corrode behind gutter
- Gutters are rusting
- Puddles of water start to form around your home
- Large amounts of standing water in your gutters

The summer and beginning fall season is the best time of the year to make sure your roof is in tip-top shape. For more information on roofing services, or gutter information please feel free to give Rhode Island Slate Roofing a call at 401-255-2003 or fill out an online contact form.
