Look for these key warning signs: gutters pulling away from your house, visible cracks or rust spots, and water pooling around your foundation after rain. If you can see standing water in your gutters that’s more than half an inch deep, that indicates improper pitch that needs correction.
Sagging sections and loose downspouts are usually repairable with proper re-securing and pitch adjustment. However, if you’re seeing multiple issues like extensive rust, large cracks, frequent detachment from fascia, or gutters that have been “repaired” multiple times, replacement might be more cost-effective long-term. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your specific situation and budget.
