The Dangers of Standing Water in Gutters & Eavestroughs: Protect Your New Brunswick Home
Gutters and eavestroughs play a crucial role in protecting your home from New Brunswick’s heavy rainfalls and snowy winters. However, when standing water accumulates due to clogged or improperly installed gutters, it can lead to serious damage and costly repairs. At Eager Beaver Gutter Co., we help homeowners in Fredericton, Moncton, Saint John, and beyond prevent these issues with expert gutter installation and maintenance.
Why Standing Water in Your Gutters is a Serious Problem
1. Roof Damage & Leaks
When water sits in your gutters instead of draining properly, it can seep under your roof shingles, leading to water damage, mold, and rot. In New Brunswick’s harsh winters, trapped water can freeze and cause ice dams, forcing water into your home’s interior.
2. Foundation & Basement Flooding
Improper drainage due to standing water can cause overflow, leading to foundation cracks and basement flooding. Fredericton, Moncton, and Saint John homeowners know how unpredictable rainfall can be—having a properly functioning gutter system is key to keeping your home dry.
3. Pest Infestations
Standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, insects, and rodents. If your gutters aren’t draining, pests can quickly take up residence, leading to infestations that threaten your home’s structure and hygiene.
4. Gutter & Fascia Damage
Waterlogged gutters put excess strain on their attachments, leading to sagging, detachment, or complete collapse. Additionally, trapped moisture can rot wooden fascia boards, requiring expensive repairs and replacements.
