Gutter Repair
Gutters play a crucial role in directing rainwater away from your home to prevent water damage. Over time, gutters may experience wear and tear, leading to the need for repairs. Here are common types of gutter repairs that can be made:
Leak Repairs:
Identify and patch leaks in the gutter system. Leaks often occur at joints, corners, or holes caused by corrosion or damage
Reattachment of Gutters:
Reattach gutters that have pulled away from the fascia board. This can be caused by loose or damaged fasteners, and reattaching them ensures proper alignment.
Sagging Gutter Repairs:
Fix sagging gutters by adjusting hangers or adding additional hangers for support. Sagging gutters can lead to poor drainage and water pooling.
Downspout Repairs:
Repair or replace damaged downspouts. This may involve reattaching, patching holes, or replacing sections that are no longer functional.
Gutter Resealing:
Check and reseal any seams or joints where sections of gutters connect. Over time, seals can deteriorate, leading to leaks.
Replacement of Damaged Sections:
Replace sections of gutters that are severely damaged, rusted, or beyond repair. This may involve removing the damaged portion and installing a new segment.
Gutter Guard Repairs:
If you have gutter guards in place, ensure they are properly secured and free from damage. Repair or replace any damaged gutter guard sections.
Fixing Overflow Issues:
If water overflows from the gutters during rain, it may indicate a clog, improper slope, or insufficient capacity. Addressing these issues can prevent water damage.
Resloping Gutters:
Adjust the slope of gutters if they are not properly aligned for water flow. Proper slope ensures that water moves toward downspouts and away from the home.
Installation of Splash Blocks or Extensions
Add splash blocks or downspout extensions to direct water away from the foundation and prevent soil erosion.
Gutter Reinforcement:
Reinforce gutters, especially in areas prone to heavy snow or ice, to ensure they can withstand the weight without bending or breaking.
