Do Your Old Gutters Need Gutter Repair?

Old gutters is a relative term, but it’s a really good indication your gutters are old if they are:

  • Installed with spike and ferrule
  • Showing significant exterior color fade
  • Have seams along the run of the gutter

Often times we arrive to a job to check on repairs and we realize the client is in need of a gutter installation instead. If your gutters are leaking at the seams it may be time to update to seamless gutters. If your gutters were installed with spike and ferrule, this means they are likely 20 years old and you could also potentially have rotting fascia.

Finding gutter problems before they need major repairs is essential. Rainwater spilling over the edges of your gutters or the presence of rust and corrosion are both indications that your gutters are deteriorating and in need of gutter repair. Uneven or sagging gutters, which might be the result of trash accumulation or trapped water, are another warning sign. Water leaking from the gutters can cause external problems such as peeling paint and water stains. Gutter life may be prolonged with routine cleaning and maintenance, as can the lifespan of any home protection system.

  • 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.

Gutter Overflow: Is It a Cleaning or a Repair You Need?

Gutter overflow is not something to ignore—it can lead to expensive water damage, foundation issues, and even flooding in your basement. Early intervention is key to protecting your home from costly repairs.

Our team of experts will evaluate your gutters to determine if cleaning is enough to resolve the issue or if repairs—or even replacement—are necessary. We understand that each home is different, so we tailor our solutions to fit your specific needs.

If you’re dealing with overflowing gutters, reach out to The Brothers that just do Gutters for a free estimate. We’ll identify the issue and recommend the best solution for your home.

Overflow near your downspouts typically indicates a blockage that’s preventing water from draining properly. In this case, a gutter cleaning is needed to clear the obstruction and restore proper water flow.

Overflow happening in the middle of the gutter or at the far end of the downspout often signals a need for repairs. Common issues that cause this include:

  • Incorrect pitch of the gutters that causes water to pool
  • Gutters that are too small to handle the volume of rainwater
  • Too few downspouts for proper water flow
  • Gutters that have sagged or come loose due to age or improper installation

Other signs that repairs may be needed include:

  • Water stains or cracks on siding or foundation
  • Water pooling around the base of your home
  • Overflowing water from gutters during rain
  • Wet areas near underground drains, which may indicate a clog

Having a professional assess the situation ensures that the root cause is accurately identified, and the appropriate solution is applied.

Hail Damage Repair for Your Gutter System

Hailstorms can cause serious damage to your gutters, in addition to your roof. Hail can cause dents, cracks, and misalignments that affect how water drains from your home. A professional inspection will help determine if a repair will suffice or if a replacement is necessary.

Many homeowners also collaborate with roofing companies to evaluate the full extent of storm damage. Installing high-quality gutter guards can help reduce the risk of future damage from hail.
