Gutter Repair
Don't Wait Until Small Problems
Become Big Expenses
A leaking gutter seam costs a few hundred dollars to fix. The water damage it causes to your fascia, siding, and foundation can cost thousands. The Guttermen diagnose and repair gutter problems fast — before they become major repairs.
Common Gutter Problems We Fix
Most gutter repair jobs are fast — we diagnose on-site and fix the same day when possible. Don't wait for a small leak to become foundation damage.
Leaky Seams & Joints
Where two sections of gutter meet is where leaks almost always start. Old sealant breaks down over time, especially under South Carolina's heat and UV exposure. We clean out the joint and reseal with professional-grade sealant built to last.
Sagging Gutters
Gutters that sag or pull away from the fascia can't drain properly — water pools in the low spots, adds weight, and makes the problem worse with every rain. We re-hang and re-pitch the affected sections to restore correct drainage flow.
Storm Damage
Fallen branches, high winds, and ice can crush, bend, or tear gutters loose entirely. We assess the damage, replace what can't be repaired, and get your system working again before the next storm hits.
Loose or Missing Hangers
Older spike-and-ferrule systems loosen over time as wood expands and contracts with the seasons. We remove the failed fasteners and install modern hidden hanger systems that grip the fascia securely and won't work themselves loose.
Clogged Downspouts
A clogged downspout backs up the entire system — water has nowhere to go, so it spills over the front edge or sits and adds weight to the gutter. We clear blockages and inspect for underlying causes like inadequate downspout sizing.
Fascia & Soffit Damage
When gutters leak or pull away, the water damage doesn't stop at the gutter. Fascia boards and soffit panels rot when they stay wet. We identify the damage and coordinate repairs before reinstalling your gutters so the problem doesn't come back.
Warning Signs Your Gutters Need Attention
Gutter problems often show up somewhere other than the gutters themselves. If you notice any of these signs, don't wait — call us for a free on-site assessment.
Water Spilling Over the Edge
During rain, water should flow through your gutters and exit at the downspout — not spill over the front. Overflow usually means a clog, a sag, or a gutter that's pitched the wrong way.
Paint Peeling or Staining on Siding
Streaks, staining, or peeling paint on your siding below the gutter line is a sign water is consistently running where it shouldn't. Left alone, the moisture gets into the siding and causes rot.
Mold or Mildew on Siding
Dark streaks or fuzzy growth on your exterior walls near the roofline often traces back to a gutter that's overflowing or leaking at a seam. Moisture is the cause — fix the gutter and the mildew stops coming back.
Visible Gaps or Cracks
If you can see daylight through a seam or spot a crack in the gutter channel, water is getting through. Small cracks are often repairable on the spot — but they grow fast if ignored.
Pooling Water Near the Foundation
Standing water along your foundation after rain is a serious warning sign. Your gutter and downspout system's job is to move water away from the house — if it's pooling at the base, the system is failing somewhere.
Repair or Replace?
We'll Tell You the Truth.
We don't push replacement when repair is the right call. And we don't patch systems that are past saving. Here's how we think about it.
We Recommend Repair When:
- ✓ The damage is isolated to one or two sections
- ✓ The gutter material is still sound overall
- ✓ The system is fewer than 10–15 years old
- ✓ Seams can be resealed and hold long-term
- ✓ Hangers can be replaced without disturbing the gutter
We Recommend Replacement When:
- → Damage spans multiple sections of the run
- → Existing gutters are undersized for your roofline
- → Rust or corrosion has compromised the metal
- → The fascia board behind the gutter has rotted
- → Cumulative repair costs outweigh new installation
Either Way, You Win
Whether you need a quick repair or a full replacement, we give you an honest assessment and a clear price before any work begins. No pressure, no upsell. Just a straight answer from people who've been doing this for 40+ years.
