When Should You Schedule Gutter Repair?

OIf your existing gutters show signs of wear or damage, it might be time for a professional evaluation. Common signs that your system may need gutter repair include:

  • Gutters installed with outdated spike and ferrule methods
  • Noticeable color fading or rust on the exterior
  • Seams splitting or leaking at connection points
  • Gutters pulling away from the fascia

In many cases, we discover that what seems like a simple fix may actually indicate the need for a full replacement. For example, leaking seams often signal that it’s time to switch to seamless gutters for better performance. Additionally, older systems may be hiding rotted fascia behind them—especially if repairs have been delayed.

  • Gutter hanging off the home – may need a gutter replacement
  • Downspout disconnected from gutter or home
  • Water in basement
  • Water in home
  • Seams leaking or dripping
  • Overflowing gutters – may just need a gutter cleaning

  • Spike & ferrules pulling away from the gutter where you can see the nail head popping out
  • Lines in your landscape below the gutter
  • Mold in areas below where gutters are, or should be
  • Rotting deck boards, windowsills, garage doors, and regular doors below where gutters are, or should be
  • Erosion in landscape or mulch beds
  • Cracking or upheaval of sidewalks, patios, driveways and stairs
  • Paint flaking or peeling prematurely in areas near the base of the home
  • Dips or back pitch in gutters

A gutter system that is properly installed and maintained by regular gutter cleanings or maintenance or protected with gutter guards should last up to 30 years. Gutters that have not been properly maintained usually fail between 10 and 15 years.

Cleaning vs. Repair: What’s Right for You?

Overflowing gutters could mean they’re clogged and need cleaning, or they may require repair to resolve structural issues. Our team carefully inspects your entire gutter system to determine whether a cleaning, targeted gutter repair, or even a full replacement is the best option. Every home is different, and we provide solutions tailored to your property’s needs—not one-size-fits-all fixes.

Overflowing at or near the downspout is a tell-tale sign that you need gutter cleaning services and there is likely a blockage in your downspout that is inhibiting the water from flowing down the downspout. 

Whereas, overflow that is occurring in the middle of a gutter, and/or at the opposite end of a downspout typically indicates the need for a repair or reinstall because this could: 

  1. be a sign of a pitch issue
  2. mean your gutters are too small
  3. mean there are not enough leaders or downspouts
  4. be your gutters are sagging/pulling from your home due to age, or install issues 

Other indications that you have overflow issues: 

  • Stained or cracked walls, siding, or foundation 
  • Pooling by your foundation 
  • Visible overflow from the front of the gutter or between the fascia and gutter in the rain 

There are less subtle signs as well. If you have a downspout that leads to an underground drain and the area around that drain is wet, then it is most likely clogged. 

Although the above lists are great indications and starting points to understanding what may be wrong with your gutter system, it is common for homeowners to misdiagnose the source of their gutter problems.

Dealing With Hail or Storm Damage?

Severe weather, especially hail, can cause hidden damage to your gutter system. After storms, many homeowners check their roofs, but overlook their gutters. We recommend including gutter repair in any post-storm assessment. If hail or high winds have impacted your home, our experienced team can help evaluate the damage and determine whether repairs or a full replacement is the better investment. We also work alongside roofing professionals and insurance providers to streamline your repair process.

Why Preventative Repair Matters

Gutters that are properly installed, maintained, and protected with guards can last up to 30 years. However, without ongoing care, many systems fail within 10 to 15 years. Our gutter repair experts help you avoid that risk by keeping your gutters functioning effectively through targeted maintenance and timely repairs.
