What gutter problems can be repaired?

Most gutter trouble comes down to a handful of problems, and most of them can be fixed without replacing the whole system.

  • Leaks

    Gutter leak sealing and fresh caulking at end caps, corners and splash guards, the joints where most leaks start.

  • Sagging and pulling away

    Runs that have dropped or come loose are re-secured and set back to the right slope.

  • Overflow

    We correct gutter overflow problems, whether the cause is a blockage, a run that has lost its pitch or too few downspouts.

  • Downspouts

    Downspout repair and replacement, plus realignment and reframing so water leaves the house where it should.

  • Storm, ice and wildlife damage

    Bent, crushed or torn sections from fallen limbs, ice or animals are repaired or replaced.

  • The wood behind the gutter

    Fascia board repair and replacement, and drip edge installation so water runs into the gutter and not behind it.

Why do gutters leak or sag?

Sealant does not last forever. The caulk at corners, end caps and outlets dries out and cracks with years of sun and temperature swings, and a drip starts. On older sectional gutters the same thing happens at every seam along the run.

Sagging is usually about fasteners and weight. Gutters hang from the fascia board. When that wood gets wet and soft, or old spikes work loose, the gutter tips forward or drops. A gutter full of wet leaves, standing water or ice is heavy, and that weight pulls on every fastener.

Once a run loses its slope, water sits in the low spot instead of flowing to the downspout. Standing water speeds up everything else: more weight, more leaking, and a place for mosquitoes to breed.

Should I repair or replace my gutters?

Repair is the right call when the problem is in one place and the metal is in good shape: a leaking corner, a loose section, a crushed downspout, a run that needs to be re-pitched.

Replacement starts to make more sense when the trouble is everywhere. Sectional gutters dripping at seam after seam, rust or cracks in the gutter itself, runs bent out of shape, or gutters that are simply too small for the roof will keep costing you. If the fascia has to come off along a whole side of the house, that is also a natural time to hang new seamless gutters.

We will tell you which situation you are in. Our work is limited to the services you actually need.

What happens if I put off a gutter repair?

A leaking or loose gutter sends water to the wrong places. Water that runs behind the gutter soaks the fascia and the soffit, and wet wood rots and invites pests. Water that spills over the front streaks the siding, digs out the mulch beds and collects against the foundation.

In winter the same water freezes. Ice adds weight to a gutter that is already hanging badly, and a small repair becomes a section on the ground. Fixing it early is almost always the cheaper job.

Signs your gutters need repair

Walk around the house during or right after a steady rain. This is what to look for.

Gutter repair questions

Question not here? Call (856) 768-9774.

Can a sagging gutter be fixed without replacing it?

Often, yes. If the gutter itself is not bent or cracked, it can be re-secured to the fascia and set back to the correct slope. If the wood behind it has rotted, that fascia board needs to be repaired or replaced first so the fasteners have something solid to hold.

Why is water dripping behind my gutter?

Usually because water is running off the roof edge and down the fascia instead of into the gutter. A drip edge, which is a metal strip under the first row of shingles, directs that water into the gutter. Drip edge installation is one of the gutter services we offer.

Do you repair and replace downspouts?

Yes. Downspout repair and replacement, and realignment and reframing of downspouts, are part of our gutter services.

Do you fix the rotted wood behind the gutters?

Yes. We do fascia board repair and replacement, and we also handle soffit and soffit vent replacement, so the gutter is hung on sound wood.

Is a leaking gutter urgent?

It is rarely an emergency, but it should not wait for long. Every rain puts water on the fascia, the siding or the foundation, and winter ice makes a weak gutter worse. It is usually a small job if it is caught early.
