Eavestroughs need to be replaced

How can you tell when eavestroughs need to be replaced?

The life of eavestroughs or gutters is about 20 years. Most of these older  eavestroughs are the old "Spike" or "Nail" type . Over this time the nails start to pull out and the the eaves sag in the middle areas of the longest runs and water is unable to flow through to downspouts. So they overflow over the edgles which can leak into your house and cause water damage.
Signs to recognize are 1) The fact that you have nails sticking out. 2)Leaking corners. 3) Water overflow marks along the eaves. Dark streaks and dirt stuck on the outside of the eaves.
Caulking corners on old eaves is really not the answer as the eaves have "Lost their slope" . Some people try to reslope eaves but  after moving them around then the corners caulking cracks  and they leak more .

The solution is to replace them with new seamless extruded eaves trough which are properly sloped and with brand new screwed in brackets that hold extremely well in all weather conditions with new caulking in corners.
Early spring is the best time to get this work done before April and May showers and summer rain storms.
