If you’re a homeowner, you know that there’s an infinite amount of issues that can possibly arise in and around your home -- and your gutters are no exception to this rule. Being that they’re on the exterior of your home, exposure to nature’s elements make gutter problems a rather common occurrence. Luckily, many of these issues can be resolved with a quick fix as long as they’re detected in a timely manner.

Leaking - The first place to look is where your gutter sections join. Over time, standing water caused by a minor clog can deteriorate seals and slip through the seams. Should you find a faulty seam, drain any water and dry the gutters. Then, apply a silicone-rubber caulking to reseal.

Overflowing - If you find that rainwater is pouring down over your gutters and down the side of your home, there are two common causes: Your gutters are clogged by debris, causing a small dam, or they are sagging due to damage. First, make sure that your gutters are completely clean and clear and inspect your entire system for signs of sagging, which we’ll explain further below.

Sagging - Gutters that sag indicate that excess strain is being placed on your system. If your gutters are clean and clear, the issue might be that your system is not large enough to handle your home’s rainwater. Have it evaluated by a professional who can secure any loose sections and suggest replacement or addition where necessary.

If your gutters are malfunctioning it’s important to identify the issue and correct it right away in order to keep your home safe from potential water damage, foundation damage, flooding and more.
