Repair, when the run is worth saving.
Sagging sections, lost pitch, leaking joints and storm damage. Not every gutter problem needs the whole run replaced.
The problem
Most failures start small and quietly.
A hanger lets go. That section drops half an inch, so it holds water, so it gets heavier, so the next hanger goes. By the time anyone notices, the run has a belly in the middle and the water is going over the front edge every storm instead of down the pipe.
Joint leaks are the other common one, and they are easy to spot from the ground: a dark vertical stain on the fascia, or a streak of green on the siding directly below one spot on the gutter. On metal buildings the same overflow shows as rust running down the panel.
The fix
Fix what is fixable. Replace what is not.
The first thing worth knowing is which one you are dealing with. A run that is basically sound but sagging in one bay is a repair. A twenty year old sectional run that leaks at half its joints is a replacement, and paying to chase seals along it is money spent twice.
Zach will tell you which one it is when he looks at the building. If it is worth repairing, that is what gets quoted.
What the job includes
What repair covers
- Re-hangingSections that have dropped, put back up and held properly.
- Resetting pitchSo the trough drains toward the outlet instead of holding a puddle.
- Section replacementDamaged lengths swapped out where the rest of the run is good.
- Joints and end capsLeaking seals and caps sorted on runs worth keeping.
- Downspout problemsLoose straps, broken elbows, missing extensions, blocked outlets.
- An honest callIf the run is past it, you get told that rather than quoted a patch.
What you get out of it
Why fix it now
- Fascia and soffit stay dryOverflow at the back of the trough is what rots the board behind it.
- Siding stops stainingThe streak below a leaking joint only gets darker.
- The foundation stays out of itWater going over the edge lands in one line right at the wall.
- Cheaper than the alternativeA hanger and a re-pitch now, against a full run and a fascia board later.
Real work
Older buildings, brought back into service.
Not every job is a new build. Plenty are houses and outbuildings that have gone years without a working run.
How it goes
What happens when you call about a repair.
Describe what you are seeing
Overflow at one spot, a sag, a stain, a section down after a storm.
Zach looks at the run
From the ground and up close. The question is repair or replace.
Free estimate, either way
Priced for the repair, or for a new seamless run if that is the honest answer.
Sorted
Re-hung, re-pitched, sections swapped, joints and downspouts put right.
FAQ
Repair questions
Is it worth repairing or should I just replace it?
That depends on what is failing and how much of the run it affects. One dropped section on an otherwise sound gutter is a repair. Joints leaking along the whole length usually is not worth chasing.
Can you repair gutter someone else installed?
Yes. Most repair work is on runs that were put up by somebody else, often years ago.
Do you do storm damage?
Sections pulled loose or damaged can be re-hung or replaced. Get in touch and describe what happened.
What if the fascia behind the gutter is bad?
That gets pointed out. Hanging a new run on a soft board is not a fix and you should know before you spend money on gutter.
Something not draining right?
Free estimate. Zach will tell you whether it is a repair or a replacement, straight.
