Leaky gutters are a major nuisance to any homeowner. They don’t divert water properly and as a result, it drips down and forms ugly puddles at the base of your home. They may also leave ugly stains on your siding and walkway and make your basement damp. Therefore, leaky gutters are a sign that your gutters need to be repaired as soon as possible.

What Causes Leaking Gutters?

1. Holes and gaps: Gutters corrode over time and a result holes and gaps form in the system, causing rainwater to leak. In less severe cases, the holes can be easily filled with waterproof sealant or caulk.
2. Separated joints: These happen when the area around the joints of downspouts corrodes and deteriorate due to debris and water. Such joints can be repaired using caulk but in severe cases, they need to be replaced.
3. Loose hangers: Hangers are used to secure most gutters. Sometimes, these hungers become loose and cause runoff to flow over the gutters’ rear edge.
4. Improperly pitched gutters: When gutters aren’t pitched correctly water won’t flow effectively towards the downspouts. Such a gutter needs to be realigned if you don’t want to deal with annoying leaks.
