Maintaining your home’s gutter system involves cleaning and integrity inspections. Roofing and gutter repair is crucial to sustaining your gutter system over time. Exposure to harsh elements is unavoidable, but proper roof gutter repair and maintenance can prevent damage to your gutters and home.

Under these conditions, gutters can detach from the house resulting in expensive damage to the property.
Common Gutter Issues
Clogged Gutters
A gutter directs water from your roof to a designated area on your property. When a gutter is clogged by debris, roof drainage can stop or slow. Improper drainage causes rot to fascia boards and allow water to enter walls and ceilings.
Sagging Gutters
Repairs for sagging gutters are required when the weight of leaves, dirt, and twigs clog the system and cause it to sag.
Holes and Leaking Gutters
Clogging creates holes in gutters resulting in water leaks that damage property.
Improperly Pitched Gutter
Proper gutter system installation requires a professional to gauge the slope of a roof. A roof’s slope angle must be at least a quarter-inch for every 10 feet of gutter. If there is standing water on a roof, the pitch of the roof needs to be adjusted.
Corrosion
Many factors lead to gutter corrosion: poor handling and storage, poor installation, and clogs, are a few. Gutter corrosion can result in gutter failures such as leaks and breakage.
Pests
Bees, wasps, rodents, termites, and chipmunks are common pests that live in gutters. Debris in gutters attracts these rodents, especially if the roof is near trees, allowing them easy access. These pests and their nest's block drainage causing damage to the system.

Things to Consider
Age – The age of the gutter system affects the expense of gutter repairs. An older gutter system requiring continual repair may become more expensive than the installation of a new system.
Materials Needed – The type of gutter systems such as aluminum, plastic, copper, or cast iron and the required repair determines the cost of materials. The variance in the price of different materials can make it more cost-efficient to replace the gutter system.
Gutter Repair Cost – In addition to material expenses, repair costs depend on the overall size of the gutter, the size and condition of the roof, and the number of floors in the house.
