The Most Common Gutter Repairs

Gutters in need of a repair?  Damage can result from a lot of things, but no matter how – it’s best to get it handled soon.  Let’s take a look at a few of the most common things that warrant a repair:

• Sagging Gutters

Not cleaning your Gutters at least twice per year can result in a clog.  When a Gutter gets clogged, it can’t function as intended and doesn’t drain.  The excess water and debris create too much pressure which makes them sag.   This can also occur from things like missing parts or bent/broken hangers.

• Loose Gutters

Gutters are usually secured to the fascia of your home.  If they become loose though, they’re not only a safety risk, but they can end up causing costly water damage. They can also become detached from your fascia, which costs a lot more to repair.

• Downspouts

A Broken or clogged downspout will keep your Gutters from doing their job.  This will cause them to fill with water and debris, which can lead to mold and/or water damage.

• Missing parts/hardware

You should always be aware of any missing parts/hardware.  Something as simple as a missing screw can be a real problem with a potential safety risk.  It’s best to report this issue right away.

Bent or Broken Hangers

Hangars are what hold your Gutters in place.  If too much water builds up or if a wild storm comes through, they could become bent.  Bent can lead to broken, which leads to detached.

Joints and Leaks

Joins are more likely to leak, it’s that simple.  If your budget allows, consider using seamless Gutters.  Their lack of joints makes them much less prone to leaks.

• Detached Gutters

If a Gutter becomes detached, you’ll need to have it looked at right away.  Detached Gutters are not only a safety risk, but they’re also expensive to repair.  The best thing you can do is to prevent this from occurring by watching for earlier symptoms.
