Here are a few of the ways faulty gutters can negatively impact your home:
Water Damage
When your gutters and downpipes are clogged up with leaves and debris, rainwater will need to find somewhere else to go—most likely into your roof, attic, and the interior of your home.
Loose, Hanging Gutters
Gutters aren’t typically strong enough to hold a full load of water. If your gutters are regularly heavy with backed up rainwater, they’ll eventually come detached from the home and cause damage to both the gutters and the house itself.
Ice Dams
The winters in Central Illinois get cold. If water from melting snow and ice don’t have a clear path to escape, it’ll back up into your roof and freeze. When the next thaw comes, that water will melt right down into the interior of your home.
Wildlife
Chipmunks, squirrels, termites, and carpenter ants love to make their comfortable little homes in backed up gutter debris. Give those little critters an inch of gutter real estate, and it won’t be long before they set up shop in your attic.

Gutter Repairs and Central Illinois Homeowners Insurance
Failing to keep up with your gutters can cause water damage to both the interior and exterior of your home. If an insurance company can prove your water damage was due to a poorly maintained gutter, then they’ll be reluctant to grant a claim. If a fallen branch or excessive hail takes down your gutters, on the other hand, you may be entitled to a full replacement (minus deductible). Get in touch with us today, and we’ll help you sort out your claim.
