Worries from what?
|
Well... Its proven that when a gutter fills up with debris the gutter may outweigh its support system limitations (A standard bracket most commonly used holds about 45 lbs of pressure) pulling the nail out of the bracket holding up the gutter and or bending the bracket itself out of its support spot on the gutter eliminating the gutter support system. Consequently this may very well lead to having to get new gutters. WOW!!!! That could cost anywhere from $1,500.00 on up. That’s one of the most damaging reasons.

Summary: Basement Floods
The second most damaging reason people go through not having a sufficient waterflow gutter system is basement floods and or water damage in the house walls.
How? The city of Chicago and the surrounding suburbs have been informing their residents to take their downspouts out of downspout tiles due to basement floods because of an excessive amt. of water underground (too much for the underground water drain system can handle).
Where does the water go?
It rises underneath the home and floods basements and or weakens the foundations of homes. That may or may not be the case on your home but who can really know for sure?
(that may be something to look into getting done).
If the gutter fills up with debris and water does overflow from the gutter at any point it could cause the same problems and more. The water could weaken walkways and cause conrete damage. Cost $350 and up

Summary: New downspouts needed (Repair work)
Also if that is not the case there is a big chance of an abundance of debris getting into downspouts putting a maximum amt. of pressure (Expecially in winter when ice builds-up)
Splitting the back seams and resulting in downspout replacement repair work.
Will Cost anywhere from $75 on up per downspout.

Summary:Personal Body Injuries
A gutter system that is not functioning properly can form ice on walkways in the winter and anyone (Expecially Seniors) walking on the sidewalk may or may not see the ice and slip and fall resulting in serious injuries.
Cost $250.00 up to thousands
|
Summary: Home Damage(Walls,Roofs, and Rafters)
If there is too much debris in a gutter and the water instead of overflowing in front of the gutter it overflows behind the gutter it could get on the inside of the home and cause wall damage.(Expecially during winter ice could form and build up inside the edge of your roof
and melt in your walls.
