Keep Them Clear
Leaves, debris, and granules from an aging shingle roof are the most common cause of clogged gutters — regular cleaning prevents overflow that can damage fascia and siding.
Check The Slope
Gutters need a slight, consistent slope toward the downspouts — sagging sections that have lost their slope pool water and add unnecessary weight.
Inspect The Fascia Behind Them
Gutters are only as secure as the fascia board they’re fastened to — rotted or damaged fascia is a common reason gutters pull away from the house.
Watch For Loose Fasteners
Hangers and fasteners that loosen over time let gutters sag or separate from the roofline, especially under the weight of heavy rain or debris.
