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 5: Repair sags. A gutter will perform best if water runs downhill from the end of the gutter to the downspout. Inspect the gutter for any sags that would prevent the free flow of water. These are most likely caused by a hanger that has bent, broken or slipped out of place. To repair a sag, simply replace or add a hanging bracket designed for your gutter system to the sagging section. This will bring it back to pitch with the rest of the gutter line. Your gutter should now operate properly. Add a hanging bracket to fix the sag.
