After the massive snow fall this season, gutter inspections should be at the top of your list.
Connecticut has experienced some record setting snow fall this past winter, forcing anyone with property to keep a closer eye on routine inspections and repairs. Gutters are particularly susceptible to damage from ice, snow and strong winds.

Ice can slowly cause the most damage by pulling and yanking gutters when it thaws and refreezes. It can pull on fasteners causing the gutters to fall. Ice can also cause gutters to pitch the wrong way allowing water to pool inside instead of draining. Gutters can also be bent, broken or have damage to the thin aluminum - all from ice!
Heavy snow can cause the gutters to buckle and come off of the house. Strong winds can then move the gutters back and forth causing them to either fall to the ground or hit the house causing even more damage.
Bad gutters can lead to costly repairs that may have to be done to either the gutters, the house or both. Basement leaks are a common issue with damaged gutters, they can also cause water leaks over doors, entryways and windows. In general, water can run into areas inside or outside the house where it refreezes overnight until midspring.
