Sagging Gutter Repairs (Gutter Re-secure)
Summer heat in Georgia causes wood to expand, and when heavy debris and water accumulate in your gutter, the nails that support your gutter begin to slip out. When the gutter is left sagging an angle for debris to pile up forms. Shingle grit and mud weigh against the loose gutter nails heavily, and can potentially cause your gutter to fall to the ground. Debris can pile up behind the back of the gutter which allows water to enter your attic during storms. Loose gutters also put more stress on the downspouts which can damage and break them.
We repair loose K-style gutters by adding hidden gutter brackets every three feet. They have a long, course-threaded screw that fastens to the fascia which will not slip out like nails do.
Half-round gutters require brackets that cradle the bottom of the gutter. Brackets are installed with equal spacing to compliment aesthetics from ground view.
If your house doesn’t have fascia board we install wedges on the rafter tails to allow the gutter to hang level.
