Depending on the severity of the problem and the situation, some people prefer to use a DIY approach when it comes to completing repairs around the home. However, although they might be able to figure out the steps to take through a process of trial and error, DIY projects are likely much more successful when some background knowledge is already known or if direction is previously provided.

If you’ve noticed that your downspouts have started to come loose and are in need of a solution, even if it’s only temporary until a professional like All Aluminum Gutters can come to the scene, the following can be helpful when starting the repairs:

Step 1: Dismember the sections and get rid of any debris that may have gotten caught in between.

Step 2: Take each section and put them back together in the correct way – you should be able to determine this based on how they fit.

Step 3: Drill holes if necessary and secure the pieces by using the appropriate screws; avoid using anything longer than 3/8 inch screws since debris may catch on to anything longer.

By following these three steps, repairing a loose downspout can be relatively easy - but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t bring in a professional!
