What the symptom usually means
- Waterfall over the front edge in heavy rain. Either a clog at the downspout outlet or a run that's lost its pitch. If it happens even when clean, the gutter may simply be undersized for the roof plane feeding it — see the 5" vs 6" guide before paying for a mystery fix.
- Visible sag or pulling away from the fascia. Spiked gutters back out of coastal fascia boards on schedule; standing water's weight finishes the job. Rehanging with screwed hidden hangers fixes the sag and upgrades the attachment in one pass — unless the fascia behind it has gone soft, which changes the conversation and the quote, honestly and up front. The fascia repair page covers what that conversation includes.
- Drips at corners and end caps. Sealant ages fastest at the joints — sun on the south face, constant wet-dry cycling everywhere. Cleaned and resealed properly, a corner is good for years. This is the cheapest item on this page.
- Tiger-striping down the siding under the run. Chronic small overflow. Usually pitch or capacity, occasionally a seam in older sectional gutters — one of the few cases where replacing a run beats chasing leaks seam by seam.
- Downspout swinging free after a blow. Straps rust and pop in salt air. Ten-minute fix with better straps, and every other strap on the house deserves a check at the same time, because they were all installed the same day.
After named storms: gutters make honest storm victims — wind peels runs, ladders and limbs dent them, downspouts vanish into the neighbor's yard. A straight assessment comes with photos you can hand your adjuster, and it should say plainly which sections are damage and which were already tired.
The repair-or-replace line
A good rule of thumb: if the fix costs more than about a third of what a fresh seamless system would, or if the seams on sectional gutters are due for a second resealing, replacement wins the math. Otherwise repair wins. Either way you get both numbers side by side and the reasoning in plain English — then it's your call, not our pitch.
One visit, straight verdict, working gutters.
