What to Expect
Gutters are attached to the fascia boards at the edges of your roofline. If you don't inspect your roofline's edge, damage is easy to overlook. Let's look at the wide variety of issues that occur with rain gutters and what we do during gutter repair in Vancouver, WA.
Loose Gutters:
Frequently, rain gutters are connected to the fascia using gutter hangers, which may break or become lost, leading to the gutter pulling away from the roofline or dropping significantly. This problem often occurs when gutters are clogged with debris and water, causing them to strain under the weight. The most effective solution is often to replace the hangers and ensure that the gutters are free of heavy clogs.
Cracks and Holes:
Plastic or metal rain gutters can develop holes and cracks, which can significantly reduce the gutter system's effectiveness. While small holes and hairline cracks can be sealed with epoxy to prevent leaks, they are weak points that should be monitored for any further signs of trouble.
Leaky Joints:
If your sectional gutters connect every 10 to 20 feet, it's not uncommon for the connection to become loose or for the sections to break apart. Our gutter services will easily resolve this problem by pushing the two sections back together to ensure their firmness. Additionally, our handyman will meticulously apply gutter sealant to the joint, further reinforcing its strength. In some cases, the connecting piece may require replacement, but rest assured, we have the expertise to handle that as well. Entrust your sectional gutters to us, and we'll ensure seamless performance and impeccable craftsmanship.
