Do Your Old Gutters Need Gutter Repair?

Old gutters is a relative term, but it’s a really good indication your gutters are old if they are:

  • Installed with spike and ferrule
  • Showing significant exterior color fade
  • Have seams along the run of the gutter

Often times we arrive to a job to check on repairs and we realize the client is in need of a gutter installation instead. If your gutters are leaking at the seams it may be time to update to seamless gutters. If your gutters were installed with spike and ferrule, this means they are likely 20 years old and you could also potentially have rotting fascia.

Early detection of gutter problems can prevent costly damage. If water overflows from your gutters during rain or rust and corrosion are visible, your gutters may be failing and require repair. Also red flags are sagging or uneven gutters, which are frequently caused by detritus accumulation or confined water. Check the exterior of your home for peeling paint or water discoloration, as these may indicate water escape from the downspouts. Regular maintenance and prompt gutter repair can prolong the life of your gutters and protect your home.

  • 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

  • Rotting deck boards, windowsills, garage doors, and regular doors below where gutters are, or should be
  • Erosion in landscape or mulch beds

  • Paint flaking or peeling prematurely in areas near the base of the home

A gutter system that is properly installed and maintained by regular gutter cleanings or maintenance or protected with gutter guards should last up to 30 years. Gutters that have not been properly maintained usually fail between 10 and 15 years.

Do You Need Gutter Cleaning or Repairs?

Gutter overflow isn’t just an inconvenience—it can lead to costly damage, including basement flooding, siding deterioration, and foundation issues. To protect your home, it’s important to address the problem as soon as possible.

Our skilled team will assess your gutters to determine whether a cleaning will resolve the issue or if repairs—or even a full replacement—are necessary. Since every home has different drainage needs, a personalized approach ensures the best outcome.

If your gutters are overflowing, contact The Brothers that just do Gutters for a free estimate. We’ll diagnose the issue and recommend the best solution for your home.

If water is spilling over near a downspout, a clog is likely to blame. A professional cleaning will clear debris and restore proper water flow.

If water is overflowing in the middle of a gutter or at the opposite end of a downspout, structural issues may be causing the problem. Common causes include:

  • Poor gutter pitch preventing water from draining properly
  • Gutters that are too small for the home’s water runoff
  • Insufficient downspouts to manage heavy rainfall
  • Sagging or detached gutters due to age or improper installation

Other warning signs of gutter problems include:

  • Water stains or cracks on siding or foundation
  • Water pooling around the base of your home
  • Overflowing water spilling from the front or back of the gutter
  • Damp ground near underground drains, signaling a possible clog

Since diagnosing gutter issues can be tricky, a professional inspection is the best way to ensure the correct solution.

Hail Damage: What About Your Gutters?

After a hailstorm, most homeowners inspect their roofs, but gutters are just as vulnerable. Hail can cause dents, cracks, and misalignment, weakening your drainage system. A professional assessment can help determine whether repairs are sufficient or if a replacement is the better investment.

If you suspect hail damage, contacting your insurance provider is a smart first step. Working with a roofing company can also help assess overall storm damage. Additionally, installing durable gutter guards can reduce future damage risks.

From hail and heavy rain to tornadoes and strong winds, severe weather can take a toll on your home’s exterior. If your roof has sustained damage, your gutters likely have as well. The Brothers that just do Gutters specializes in storm damage repairs and serves high-risk areas like Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, and Nebraska. Our team can evaluate your gutters and recommend the best course of action.
