This also means you have a leak that could be penetrating into your home. In many cases, water will leak between the fascia boards and the gutters when they are clogged with organic litter and debris.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>The gutter is visibly loose.<\/strong>\u00a0A surefire sign your gutters are not in tip-top shape is when part of the system is visibly loose or sagging. If your gutters seem to bow or sag, this usually indicates they need to be reattached with new hardware. Most gutters can last for around 20 years with proper maintenance. If your gutters are reaching the end of this range, it is time to plan for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bonedry.com\/st-louis\/gutters-downspouts\/\">gutter replacement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Gutter screws are loose.<\/strong>\u00a0A gutter spike that has come completely loose from its hole is one of the biggest giveaways your gutters need attention. Fortunately, loose gutter spikes can easily be seen from the ground and can usually be fixed by hammering them back to place. Also, keep an eye out on rusting hardware. If you see a brown-colored streak from where the gutter spikes are, that means they are rusting and not safe.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bone Dry Roofing <span>St. Louis<\/span> is one of the leading residential roofing contractors in the Midwest.
