Do Your Old Gutters Need Gutter Repair?

Old gutters can be identified by several characteristics. If your gutters were installed using spike and ferrule, they are likely around 20 years old. Additionally, significant exterior color fades, and seams along the gutter run are common signs of aging. Often, what initially appears to be a job requiring gutter repair turns out to necessitate a full gutter installation instead. Leaks at the seams are a strong indication that it’s time to upgrade to seamless gutters. Furthermore, older gutters installed with spike and ferrule may also lead to issues like rotting fascia, highlighting the importance of addressing these problems promptly.

  • 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 through regular cleanings or protected with gutter guards can last up to 30 years. However, gutters that have not received adequate care often fail prematurely, typically between 10 and 15 years. 

Cleaning and Repair – Which do I Need? 

Remediating these overflow issues is important because continued runoff can lead to many serious and expensive issues for your home, such as 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 require repair or replacement. The right solution for your gutters is not a cookie-cutter plan, and each home often requires a unique solution that a professional should fully and properly assess.

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 frequently cause significant damage to both vehicles and homes, with roofs being particularly vulnerable. Homeowners should prioritize professional inspections after such events, as gutter systems are equally susceptible to harm. Addressing gutter repair needs promptly is crucial, as hail-related damage can lead to expensive repairs or even necessitate full replacements for optimal cost-effectiveness.

Collaborating with insurance providers and experienced roofing professionals ensures thorough assessments of storm-related destruction. Proactive measures like installing durable mesh guards over gutters—made from thicker, sturdier materials than standard gutter components—can help minimize future risks.

Post-storm inspections are vital, especially since roof damage, whether from hail, tornadoes, floods, or heavy rainfall, often coincides with compromised gutter systems.

At Brothers Gutters, we specialize in expert gutter repair and replacement services. Our professionals not only restore hail-damaged gutters but also provide tailored advice on maintenance, repairs, and protective installations. Coordinating with skilled technicians to evaluate storm impacts and develop targeted repair strategies ensures long-term protection. Contact Brothers Gutters today for a comprehensive assessment and personalized solutions to safeguard your home’s drainage infrastructure.
