If your gutters are damaged or clogged, it’s important to fix them quickly. This not only prevents water damage to your home’s roof and attic insulation, but it also helps protect the integrity of your house’s foundation. Gutter repair and maintenance are typically DIY projects, but if you’re not comfortable working on ladders or don’t have the proper tools, hiring a professional may be more cost-effective.
Gutter Installation is often a mix of cleaning, sealing, and replacing sections of your gutter system. Cleaning a gutter system removes debris such as leaves, pine needles ,and twigs that can clog or block the flow of water through the gutters. Leaks in gutter systems can be sealed with a special gutter sealant. Replacing gutters or downspouts often involves removing the old section and installing a new one.
Some common gutter problems that require professional repair include:
Gutter damage can happen over time from storms or just wear and tear. Gutters can crack or leak due to age, and rust can occur around joints or seams. Water can seep through sagging gutters or pull away from the house, and this can cause damage to fascia boards or structural joists. A sagging gutter can also become disconnected from the gutter hangers, which are usually nailed into the fascia board with spikes. This causes the gutter to fail and collapse over time. A professional can often correct these issues by hammering in loose spikes, adding new hangers, or reinstalling the gutters closer to the joists.
