Causes

At FSM, we can help find the source for your gutter joint breakage and effectively repair it to avoid damage in the future. First, let’s walk through what gutter joints are, and how they can get damaged.
Your home’s gutters can leak for various reasons and cause damage to the rest of your home. It’s important to have routine maintenance to ensure they’re in proper working order. Here are some of the causes why your gutters leak.
When most homeowners think of pests causing issues in their homes, they think of them entering through the basement or garage. However, another area of concern is the gutters with pests entering through the roof.
Why would pests be attracted to your gutters? Pests look for both clogged gutters and the standing water that results from not properly cleaning your clog.
Decaying leaves and wet pine needles are the perfect breeding ground for harmful pests. Read more about common pests and the problems they cause.
Unfortunately, the location of your home does not help when it comes to your gutters clogging or not. No matter where your home is, clogged gutters are a common occurrence that can stem from several things. Knowing how your gutters can become clogged can make all the difference in preventing water damage to your Jackson, MI, home. Here are some of the main reasons your gutters can become clogged.

Why does your home have gutters?
Your roof is designed to keep away the elements, namely rain and snow. The gutters on your roof are there to catch those elements and move them away from your roof, your house and your foundation. Gutters are the first line of defense in a comprehensive water management strategy. Foundation Systems of Michigan has experts who understand the weather conditions that Michigan gutters and gutter products need to protect against.
Without a properly functioning K-Style gutter system, water will cause a variety of problems including foundation damage, basement flooding and soil erosion. Unfortunately, most homeowners don’t think about gutters until these problems arise. Gutter systems aren’t just the seamless gutters either, you also need guards for your gutters to protect against leaves, debris, and critters who like to damage and nest in your new gutters.
Our seamless gutter systems divert water from your home and stop it from entering and causing structural damage or flooding. We install state-of-the-art aluminum gutters that are properly sized to accommodate heavy amounts of water all while looking proportional to your home.
