Gutter repair
Gutter repair is effective when the channel and fascia remain sound and the problem is local. Repeated separation, widespread corrosion or poor original layout may call for replacement.
Best next step
Match the scope to the condition
Repair is sensible for isolated damage. Systemic capacity or layout problems are better addressed with redesign.
Condition review
What the inspection needs to establish
Check the full run, not only the leak, including slope, hangers, joints, outlets, downspouts, fascia and discharge.
- Leaking end caps
- Loose hangers
- Separated corners
- Crushed downspouts
- Backfall that holds water
