Tags show what we usually find. Every home is different, so we always confirm in person.
Sagging or pulling away
Gutters dip between hangers or lean away from the roof. Usually loose or failing hangers, often from heavy debris, ice or snow.
Often repairableLeaking seams and corners
Drips at joints, corners or end caps, often with stains on the siding below. Common with sectional gutters.
Often repairableWater spilling over the front
Overflow in a heavy rain can mean clogs, a blocked downspout, the wrong pitch, or gutters too small for the roof.
Needs a lookRust, holes or splits
Rust spots, pinholes or cracked sections, usually on older steel or worn gutters. Once metal is failing in several spots, patching rarely lasts.
Often needs replacingPeeling paint, rot or stains
Rotting fascia boards, peeling paint or streaks behind the gutters mean water is getting where it shouldn’t.
Needs a look
Failing gutter guards
Guards that clog on top, bend or pull loose can make overflow worse than no guard at all.
Needs a look
Winter ice damage
Ice dams and heavy icicles can bend hangers, crack seams and pull gutters off the fascia.
Needs a look
Water stains inside
Ceiling or wall stains near exterior walls can start with overflowing gutters or ice dams. Get it checked before it spreads.

5. Are your gutters more than 20 years old, or sectional (with seams every 10 feet or so)?
6. Is there rot, peeling paint or staining on the fascia or siding behind the gutters?
7. Have you had water in the basement or stains on ceilings near outside walls?
