How Broken Gutters Can Lead to Serious Water Damage in Georgia Homes

Gutters are one of the most overlooked components of a home—until something goes wrong. At Kurgan LLC, we’ve seen firsthand how broken or clogged gutters can quickly lead to serious water damage inside and outside of Georgia homes, especially during the rainy seasons in Gwinnett County.

The Hidden Role of Your Gutters

Gutters are designed to direct rainwater away from your home’s foundation, siding, and landscaping. When they’re damaged, disconnected, or clogged with debris, they can no longer do their job—and the results can be costly.

Here’s what can happen when gutters fail:

1.

Basement Flooding & Foundation Damage

Water that pours directly off the roof can pool around your home’s foundation. Over time, this constant saturation can cause cracks, leaks, and even structural shifts.

2.

Roof & Fascia Rot

When gutters sag or pull away from the roofline, water can back up under shingles and rot the wooden fascia boards, leading to expensive roof repairs and the potential for mold growth in your attic or ceiling.

3.

Interior Water Damage

If water isn’t being directed away from your home, it can seep through windows, door frames, and siding, causing damage to drywall, insulation, and flooring. Once water makes it inside, mold and mildew aren’t far behind.

4.

Soil Erosion & Landscaping Damage

Overflowing gutters can wash away mulch, destroy flower beds, and erode the soil around your home, compromising the stability of patios, decks, and walkways.

What to Watch For

Common signs your gutters could be causing water damage:

• Water spilling over the edge of gutters during rain

• Gutters pulling away or sagging from the house

• Puddles forming near your foundation

• Mold or mildew on exterior walls

• Water stains on ceilings or upper walls
