Professional Fixes to Protect Your Property
It’s typical for your gutters to need a repair during their lifespan. Weather, age, and overall wear and tear can lead to various issues. Drain Right Guttering experts can identify gutter damage and make repairs to keep your drainage system flowing.
Types of Gutter Damage
Some gutter problems are easy to spot, and others require a closer inspection. Many gutter issues over time can lead to more significant problems, so it’s best to call us before they get out of hand. Gutter problems can damage your roof, foundation, and landscaping. Here are several common gutter problems that we can fix:
- Leaking Gutters: Leaks can occur due to holes, cracks, or improperly sealed seams.
- Sagging Gutters: Gutters may sag due to loose or damaged hangers or fasteners, causing them to pull away from the house.
- Clogged Gutters: Debris can accumulate and cause clogs, leading to water overflow and potential damage.
- Loose Fasteners: Gutter hangers or screws may become loose, causing the gutter to shift or detach.
- Downspout Issues: Downspouts can become clogged, loose, or detached, affecting water flow and drainage.
Common Gutter Repairs
- Patching Holes or Cracks: We can use gutter sealant or patches to repair holes or cracks in the gutter.
- Resealing Seams: We can reseal leaking seams with gutter sealant or silicone caulk.
- Replacing or Repositioning Hangers: If we spot missing or loose hangers, we’ll replace them with new ones and ensure the gutter is supported correctly.
- Fixing Sagging Gutters: If you notice a section of sagging gutters, we’ll determine the cause and replace or add hangers to sagging sections, as needed.
- Clearing Clogs: We’ll check for clogs during every routine cleaning or if you suspect a problem. If we spot a clog, we’ll remove debris and test proper water flow through gutters and downspouts.
- Reattaching Loose Gutters: Loose gutters are typical for older or improperly installed systems. If we notice any loose spots, we’ll secure the loose section to the house with new hangers, ensuring the gutter is level and properly aligned.
- Repairing or Replacing Downspouts: Sometimes, downspouts can get damaged. We’ll check them and fix any connections or damaged sections.
