Routine gutter repair and inspection is vital to the performance of your home's water management system. Inspect for blockage, holes, cracks and sags.
Step 3: Inspect for and repair any holes. Inspect the length of gutter for small holes. If you find one, cut a patch of scrap material about one inch larger than the hole on all sides. The patch should be the same material as the gutter. Clean and rough-sand the area around the hole. Use a stiff brush to spread gutter repair compound on the area around the hole. Press the patch into the compound, and then completely cover the patch with another layer of compound to make a good seal. Press the patch into the compound.
