When should gutters be replaced?

Gutter systems made out of aluminum and galvanized steel have an expected lifespan of 20 years. Copper gutters may last 50 years or more. If your gutters are older than 20 to 50 years, it might be time to replace them.

Here are some additional signs that indicate you might need to replace your gutters:

• Holes or cracks in the gutters
• Leaking or pools of water
• Splitting gutters
• Loose or broken fasteners
• Peeling and cracking 
• Rot and mildew 
• Excessive rust
