Gutter Inspections Roof Repair Lewisville

Once the winter is over, it is time to call a roofing company to inspect and, if necessary, replace your gutters. Snow will be soon replaced by spring rains, and damaged gutters can cause serious problems to the structure and integrity of your Lewisville home.

Here is why gutter replacement is an essential task:

  1. Water Can Seep into the Foundation of Your Home

The role of the gutters is to remove the water from the roof and divert it away from your home. When they don’t work properly, water can seep into the soil surrounding the foundation of your home. In time, this soil can become loose, unstable and cause damage to the structure of the building – requiring expensive repair works.

  1. Water Pooling on the Roof Can Lead to Damage

Water should never be allowed to pool on the roof – irrespective of what material it is made of. In time, the smallest crack or vulnerable spot in the roof can be eroded by water and turn into a large hole. This will let water, fungi, mold and pests inside your home.

  1. Gutters May Look Fine on the Outside, but They May Be Damaged

Do not rely on your visual inspection of gutters. To the untrained eye, they may look just fine. However, a roof repair Lewisville specialist will identify signs of rust, cracks and other defects that render them useless for their purpose. Any residential roofer will tell you that sometimes gutter replacement is the only solution.
