1. How Long Will My Gutters Last?
With proper maintenance and high-quality materials, your gutters should last from at least 20 years all the way to nearly 40. Choosing a high-quality gutter material is key to maximising longevity, but regular maintenance is also an important factor as standing water from inadequate drainage can lead to mould growth or sagging or collapsing gutters, which will cut down on your gutter’s effective lifespan.
It’s a good idea to do a visual check of your gutters a few times a year, keeping an eye out for signs of damage, such as cracks, broken fasteners, sagging or drooping, or even sections of gutter that are separating from your roof’s fascia, which might mean you should be thinking about replacing your gutters.
