How Do Gutters Affect My Roof in Myrtle Beach?

Gutters carry rainwater off your roof and away from the house. When they clog or pull loose in Myrtle Beach, water can back up under the lower row of shingles, soak the fascia and decking, and cause leaks and rot along the roof edge. Clean, secure gutters plus proper drip edge keep that water moving where it belongs.

What Happens When Gutters Clog?

Leaves, pine needles and shingle granules fill the gutter. Rain then overflows or backs up toward the roof edge, where it can seep under shingles and into the wood.

What Signs Point to a Gutter Problem?

• Water spilling over the front or back of the gutter.
• Gutters pulling away from the house.
• Stains or peeling paint on fascia boards.
• Rot along the bottom edge of the roof.

How Does Drip Edge Help?

Drip edge directs water off the roof and into the gutter instead of letting it curl back toward the wood. Read what drip edge is. Honest Roofers installs it first on every new roof where applicable.
