The gutter down flow.

Loose fasteners are one of the causes of leaky gutters. As water runs off the roof it can flow over the rear edge of the gutter and the fascia boards. To correct this yourself you ll need to measure from the peak to the downspout. Gutters need to be pitched toward the downspouts for the water to flow properly.

Featuring durable vinyl construction this extension can be buried bent or connected to additional sections. Cracks and holes are two other common reasons behind gutter leaks. When a gutter is fastened to a roof with items such as hangers or screws they can pop out of place over time. Attach elbow to bottom end of downspout and connect a downspout extension to carry rainwater away from the foundation.

Get on a ladder after a rainstorm and look in the gutter. Clean gutters regularly to keep rainwater flowing freely. You want at least a quarter inch of slope for every 10 feet. I called other companies and they couldn t come out for two months.

Holes through the splash guard and the gutter. You can find these precut gutter splash guards about 3 in brown and white aluminum at a home center but you could easily make your own out of aluminum or sheet metal and spray paint them to match your gutters. If there s standing water it s not pitched properly.
