Do Your Old Gutters Need Gutter Repair?

One of the most common dilemmas homeowners face is deciding whether to repair their existing gutters or invest in a new system altogether. While repairs can be a cost-effective solution, certain factors can influence your decision:

Signs It’s Time for Gutter Repair

  • Minor Leaks: Small leaks can often be repaired without the need for a full replacement. If your gutters have minor leaks, our team can assess the situation and patch them effectively.
  • Sagging or Uneven Gutters: If your gutters are sagging or appear uneven, it might be possible to fix the support system or realign them.
  • Clogged Downspouts: Clogs can often be cleared with a thorough cleaning, restoring proper drainage without the need for new gutters.

When to Consider New Gutter Installation

  • Severe Damage: If your gutters are significantly damaged, such as having large cracks or extensive rust, replacement may be more economical than repairing.
  • Frequent Repairs: If you find yourself repairing your gutters multiple times a year, it might be time to invest in a new, more durable system.
  • Outdated Design: Older gutter systems may not function effectively with today’s building standards, and a new installation can enhance both efficiency and aesthetics.

Consulting with our experienced team can help you determine the best course of action for your home.

  • 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 and Repair – Which do I Need? 

It is important to remedy these overflow issues because continued run-off can lead to many serious and expensive issues for your home like water damage, flooding, and foundation damage.  

During an evaluation, our professionally trained staff can determine whether your gutter system needs gutter cleaning services, or if your overflow is due to other issues that may involve a repair or a replacement. The right solution for your gutters is not a cookie-cutter plan, and each home often requires a unique solution that should be fully and properly assessed by a professional.

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.

Hail Damage Repair for Your Gutter System

Hail storms can often wreak havoc on cars and homes. Because of the greater chance of roof damage during a hail storm, many homeowners start by inspecting their roofs. Your gutter system is also at risk of damage. Because hail damage repair to your gutter system can be costly, it is best when a professional can assess the damage and determine whether a full replacement is a better cost-benefit repair.

Because hail damage repair can be costly, we recommend that you call your insurance company. For that reason, you may want to work alongside a roofing company as well. Together they can best access the overall damage that your home has undergone.

It is a good idea to also consider covering your gutters with a guard to mitigate future damage. The best mesh guards are made of thicker and stronger materials than the gutters.

After a storm hits, you want to inspect your home for damage. If your roof has been damaged, there is a good chance that your gutter system has been too. This is also true after a tornado hits, a flood occurs or you have an abundance of rain. Brothers Gutters has experience in dealing with hail damage repair. We have locations in many of the major hail event areas, including Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, and many more. Our team of professionals are happy to assist in fixing any hail-damaged gutters and advise when a replacement is best.

Making sure to first work with a team of professionals to best access the storm havoc is key. They then can collaborate on developing a hail damage repair plan for you. The Brothers that just do Gutters offer maintenance, repairs, and installations. Contact us today to schedule a free estimate.
