The Most Common Gutter Repairs Requested by Our Clients

Regular gutter maintenance is key to protecting your home from water damage, preserving its structural integrity and ensuring its long-term value. By ensuring your gutters are regularly checked and cleaned, you can prevent more serious, costly problems.

To help you determine where to focus on your gutters, here are the common issues that our clients ask us to repair.

Clogged Gutters

Blocked gutters are caused by falling leaves, dirt, twigs and nesting birds. If not quickly addressed, an obstructed gutter could lead to standing water and potentially cause water to overflow onto your foundation. This can result in significant damage to both the exterior and interior of your home.

Leaky Gutters

Leaks usually occur at the joints, where two gutter sections meet. Leaking gutters can cause water to trickle down your home’s walls, potentially leading to dampness and structural damage over time. 

Sagging Gutters

If your gutters are sagging or moving away from the house, they could have broken hangers or fasteners.

Aside from looking unattractive, sagging gutters can also lead to ineffective water drainage.

Downspout Issues

Downspouts are designed to channel water away from your house. However, they can get knocked loose or damaged due to lack of maintenance and other factors. This problem can cause water to gather near your foundation, which is a significant concern.

The Role of a Professional Gutter Contractor

A reliable gutter contractor can accurately pinpoint the source of the problem and deliver a prompt solution. Addressing these issues alone without professional help can often result in further damage. For example, a leaky gutter can lead to water seeping into your roof, causing significant damage. Keeping your gutters in good shape is a preventative measure to avoid costly repairs.
