Fortunately for you, we have experience repairing gutter cracks before they result in worse damage. We'll begin by locating the crack, and then sizing up the hole or damage. For small cracks or leaking joints, we'll apply a bead of silicon to both sides in order to seal it and keep water in. If the hole is bigger, we'll move on to roofing cement. We apply a hefty coat over the hole or crack, and let it dry before applying a second coat if needed.
Now if the hole is really big, we'll either apply a patch or simply replace that section. A gutter patch is a simple piece of sheet metal that has been coated with asphalt roofing cement on one side. This is then placed over the hole, and another coat of roofing cement is laid over the other side. |

If your rain gutter is completely snapped in half and dangling by a thread, more extensive measures will be taken. In this case we'll go ahead and cut out the broken section, and after measuring it, we'll replace it with a new piece. This is slid into place, ensuring that the slope is right and the joints are correctly assembled, and then we'll silicone and seal any cracks and gaps. We may oftentimes attach a new bracket or two in order to support the repair as well.

Repairing Rain Gutters In Logan UT With The Wrong Slope

If your rain gutters appears to be sagging or seems to consistently overflow in the same location, the slope of your gutter may be off. Your gutter needs to descend at least a 1/4" every 10 feet or so, and over time brackets may loosen and metal may bend, which can oftentimes throw off this balance. However, our Cache Valley rain gutter repair team is ready to fine tune and adjust your gutters so they constantly slope downhill.
We begin by finding any areas that need to be repaired. Rain gutters that are no longer correctly sloped can be easily spotted by checking the insides for standing water or water marks, or simply using a level. Once these areas have been found, we go ahead and either re-seat any brackets so the roof gutter is sitting correctly, or we'll install new hangers. Once we've finishing covering each area of your Logan home or business, we'll finish by spraying water down the gutter, ensuring that none is left standing or pooling in the repaired areas. |

Repairing Cache Valley Gutter Downspouts
If your downspout has become loose, or even if water is unnecessarily pooling up underneath, we have solutions. Spouts will often separate if they become plugged or clogged. We'll go ahead and clear the plug and then proceed to reattach any joints. In addition, we'll use sheet metal screws to ensure these pieces are firmly fastened together. If you seem to have an unnecessary amount of water pooling up underneath your downspout, we can help with that to. The solution is often as simple as attaching a hose that runs out towards your lawn and away from your home. However, you may not like the look of that, and in that case we'll go ahead and either run a pipe into the ground and away from your home, or use a device called an automatic recoiling downspout. This downspout simply uncoils when filled with water and drains out into your lawn, but once empty folds up neatly into a tight bundle. |

- Separations - If your gutters aren't tied together in one continuous line, water is bound to find its way out. Our crew will use fasteners and adhesive to keep pieces tightly together.
