Does wood rot spread?

• <div><p>Yes, wood rot spreads and causes damage due to fungi. All forms of wet rot caused by fungi spread throughout the frame and door, but they’ll stop when encountering non-wood materials. Dry rot, on the other hand, spreads throughout the area to wood with porous openings to accept the spores.</p></div>

Q: Can sagging gutters be repaired?

• <div><p>Yes, and repairing such damage is another repair that&rsquo;s done often. Sagging gutters are usually the result of one of two things: damage or overload. For example, ice buildup over the winter due to clogged gutters can cause expansion, stretching the gutters. A falling tree limb or even a rogue baseball can cause gutters to sag. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-repair-sagging-gutters.htm">Sagging gutters can be repaired</a>, but they are often replaced because it can take less time.</p></div>

Q: Should I hire a professional to fix my gutters?

• <div><p>Outside of regular maintenance, most gutter repairs are best left to the pros. Most gutter projects require basic ladder safety and (sometimes) getting on top of your roof. Without the proper equipment (or if you generally get a little nervous with heights), you could put yourself at risk of serious injury. On top of that, improperly repaired gutters could result in longer term damage that requires a full replacement.</p></div>

Q: Does insurance cover wood rot?

• <div><p>Wood rot is not normally covered by insurance except in rare cases when it results from a covered event like a burst pipe. Wood rot is categorized as gradual, preventable damage, so most insurance policies won&rsquo;t pay for claims to repair wood rot damage. Check your policy to find out if wood rot is covered before making a claim. </p></div>

Q: What are common issues requiring gutter repair?

• <div><p>Clogging, sagging, leaks, rust, and detachment from the roofline are common problems that need attention.</p></div>
