5 Most common gutter repairs:

  1. Loose gutters: When gutters are loose, or their slope is incorrect, water and debris can pool in your gutters, causing leaks. Traditionally, to secure gutters, spikes and ferrules were used. But over time, they may become loose, which leads to loose gutters. We hammer loose spikes or even a better option- we replace loose spikes with specialized gutter screws as a part of our gutter cleaning service. If you see light between the gutter and fascia board, then that is a detached gutter. We also reattach a detached gutter as a repair service.
  2. Detached gutters: Gutters can detach from the fascia board. This can be a sagging gutter, a gap showing daylight, or the gutter may come completely off your house. Many times the gutter can be put back in its place. Bent or deformed gutters would likely need a replacement. Our gutter technicians will do your gutter and siding repair and get your gutters flowing properly again.
  3. Detached/Loose Downspouts: This may happen due to a variety of reasons. When we fit them back up, we make sure that they are straight, strapped down, and properly fit together, then plumbed into your drain system. If downspouts are damaged, we can replace them. We can also add leaf traps.
  4. Leaking Joints and Seams: Leaks in the joints and seams can often be fixed with the application of professional-grade gutter sealant. We apply professional-grade sealant after thoroughly cleaning and drying the area so that the sealant adheres properly.
  5. End-Cap Leaks: End caps are the caps that go on the end of a gutter run to keep the water from running out at the end. They can become loose over time or even fall out altogether. In steel gutters, this is an area of early failure. We use professional-grade gutter sealant to repair or replace leaking end caps.

Gutter repair services we provide:

Holes in gutter: Small holes can sometimes be filled with quality gutter sealant and flashing. But if that hole is rusted, that means the system’s structural integrity is wearing down. A patchwork may work for a while, but you will need a budget for gutter system replacement in the near future. The rusted sections can be cut out and replaced, but you will no longer have a continuous gutter.

Re-Sloping gutters: Re-sloping may be warranted if there is a structural issue causing the gutter to overflow. The roofline limits the degree to which the gutter can be sloped. Adding another downspout is the best solution in some cases. If there are steel gutters, then standing water may promote rust, so the slope is of greater concern in that case.

Optimizing System flow: if your gutters often overflow, even after routine cleaning, then we can help you increase the flow capacity of your gutter system by installing larger outlets/downspouts.

Downspout Add-Ons: A helpful upgrade to gutter systems is installing leaf traps at the bottom of the downspouts to protect the drain system from clogging. Debris going down the downspout catches on the screen and can be cleaned without even getting on a ladder, which makes it much easier and safer for you.
