Frequently Asked Questions

Gutters play a critical role in directing water away from your mobile home’s roof, siding, and foundation. If they are clogged, broken, or missing, rainwater can cause serious damage. Here’s why repairing gutters is essential:

• Prevents Roof Leaks – Damaged or clogged gutters cause water to overflow and seep under shingles, leading to roof leaks and potential mold growth in your ceiling.
• Protects Siding and Windows – When gutters don’t function properly, water can run down the exterior walls, causing staining, rotting, and leaks around windows and doors.
• Prevents Foundation and Skirting Damage – Without proper drainage, water can pool around the base of your mobile home, eroding the ground and damaging the skirting. This increases the risk of foundation shifting or moisture buildup underneath the home.
• Reduces Soil Erosion – Properly working gutters channel water away from your home, preventing puddles and soil displacement near your foundation.
• Protects Decks and Porches – Water spilling over the edges of a mobile home can splash onto your deck or porch, leading to premature wood rot and slippery surfaces.

Spring is the best time to:

• Clear out leaves and debris from gutters.
• Check for cracks, leaks, or loose fasteners.
• Ensure downspouts direct water at least 3-5 feet away from your home’s foundation.
• Install gutter guards to prevent future clogs.

Keeping your gutters in good repair can help prevent costly water damage and extend the life of your mobile home’s exterior.
