As summer winds down in North Texas, many homeowners are focused on back-to-school and last-minute vacations—but it’s also a smart time to give your gutters a checkup. The heat, storms, and buildup from the season can take a toll on your gutter system, leading to bigger problems when fall rains arrive. At C&W Custom Gutters, we’ve seen it all—and we’re here to help you stay ahead of the game.
Clogged Gutters from Summer Storm Debris
Summer storms often leave behind leaves, twigs, and even roofing granules in your gutters. If not cleared, this debris can clog your system and cause overflow, especially during early fall rainstorms.
✅ What to do:
Schedule a cleaning before the season shifts. We recommend inspecting your gutters now so you’re not caught off guard.
Sagging or Detached Gutters
Heavy rains and debris can weigh gutters down. The Texas heat can also cause metal to expand and contract, loosening fasteners over time.
✅ What to do:
Check for any sections that are sagging or pulling away from the house. If you see gaps or dips, it’s time for a professional repair or possible replacement.
Faded or Damaged Gutter Finish
Prolonged exposure to the sun can wear down the finish on your gutters, especially if they’re painted. This doesn’t just affect curb appeal—it can also lead to rust or corrosion in some materials.
✅ What to do:
Ask about our durable gutter materials and color-matching options if you’re noticing fading, peeling, or rust.
Signs of Foundation Damage from Poor Drainage
If your gutters are clogged or not draining correctly, you may notice water pooling near your foundation. Over time, this can lead to cracks or costly structural issues.
✅ What to do:
Make sure downspouts are positioned to direct water away from your home, and call us if you notice standing water after a rain.
Prepping for Fall Leaves
If you have trees around your home, it’s only a matter of time before leaves start falling into your gutters.
✅ What to do:
Consider installing gutter guards now—before the leaves drop. It’s a simple upgrade that can save a lot of headaches in the fall.
