Before the April showers start to fall, make sure that your roofing is equipped to handle the rain by having your gutters prepared by an Atlanta roofing company. Clogged, leaky, or bent gutters can spell disaster for your roofing, foundation, and landscaping. Here’s a look at some of the problems commonly caused by poorly maintained, uncovered gutters.
1. Debris Clogs
Throughout the fall and winter, your home can become covered in dead leaves, twigs, and other debris. While many homeowners make sure to clean this debris off their lawns and driveways, many forget to clean them off their roofing and gutters. This debris can fall into your gutters and pile up, causing them to become clogged and restricting the flow of water to the downspout. In many cases, the downspout itself is clogged with debris.
2. Sagging Gutters
As your clogged gutters fill up with leaves and other debris, they become saturated with rainwater. This causes the debris to become heavy and weigh down on the gutters. Prolonged weight can actually cause the gutters to bend or become warped, making them ineffective at retaining or directing water.
3. Water Damage and Rotting
Leaving your gutters dirty and clogged can quickly lead to water damage and rotting in your roof and fascia board. As your gutters get heavier and heavier, they start to pull away from the fascia board and roof, exposing them both to water. With enough time and precipitation, this can lead to roof leaks, water damage, rotting, and a host of other water-related roofing issues.
4. Foundation Damage
Finally, dirty gutters can contribute to foundation settling. As your clogged gutters overflow with water, runoff will fall directly to the perimeter of the home below. This water will then seep into the ground and erode at your foundation, causing basement leaks, settling, and other foundation-related issues.

Investing in your home is never a waste, as home improvement projects generally pay for themselves in the long run. The following repair summaries describe scenarios where roof replacements are an extremely smart purchase.
Animal Defense
Birds, raccoons, bats, and squirrels commonly seek shelter in home attics. These animal pests typically gain access to human spaces through damage in the roof, forcing families to pay costly removal fees. Fortunately, homeowners can avoid a wildlife invasion by installing a new roof. High quality materials and professional construction eliminate access for animal intruders.
Airtight Protection
Leaks are the bane of every home. During the summer, heavy rains make noticeable leaks inevitable for roofs in disrepair. Likewise, winter ice dams ravage aging shingles. With leaks come water damage and costly repairs—especially since leaks from the roof can eventually make their way to a home’s foundation. The installation and new flashing that comes with a roof replacement can help homeowners avoid such repair costs. Atlanta homeowners can trust Findlay Roofing for a no-leak promise that lasts a decade.
Extended Warranty
Many roofing materials, such as shingles, experience huge drops in performance as they age. Repairs for these roofs become an expensive routine. Over time, constant patches end up costing more than a full replacement would. A new roof with a long-term warranty offers a cost-effective alternative for homeowners with worn-out roofs. New materials can also go a long way toward reducing energy costs.
A 10-year warranty is just one of the many reasons to enlist the services of Findlay Roofing. Call (678) 905-4155 today to find out how much time and expense a roof replacement could save your household.
