Gutter Replacement Checklist:

Below is a checklist of gutter repair and maintenance items to address so you can tell if it's time for a gutter replacement or repair in Gainesville, GA or Metro Atlanta.

​

✓ Holes: Branches, debris, ladders, and tools can punch holes in your gutters. Aluminum seamless gutters and many sectional systems are prone to this kind of damage.

​

✓ Rust: Often found around holes, you may also see rust if the protective coating wears away. Light amounts can be scrubbed away and holes patched. If rust has infested the metal, it’s time for a new gutter system installation in Gainesville, GA or Metro Atlanta.

​

✓ Leaks: Leaks are most common in the joints of sectional gutters. Seamless gutters may leak from corners or end caps. Before the seals fail, the seams can be cleaned and caulked, securing them in place and eliminating gaps.

​

✓ Pooling: Water may pool below a downspout. Usually, this can be fixed by positioning the elbow. In other cases, upgrading the collection or dispersal system may be necessary.

​

✓ Tiger Striping: Tiger striping occurs when dirt, debris, and pollen build up near the lip of the gutter. As moisture is attracted to these elements, it drips down the gutter, causing black lines and markings. We can install a screen hanger systems in Gainesville, GA and Metro Atlanta that helps reduce tiger stripping on new gutters.

​

✓ Overflow: There are a number of reasons for water overflow, such as:

Blockage: If debris is stopping water, it will spill over the sides. Gutter cleaning will clear it up. Consider adding gutter guards to prevent future incidents.

​

✓ Pitch: If the slope on your gutter is too steep, water will rush past the downspout and escape over the end.

​

✓ Downspout Size: The downspout may be too small for rainfall in your area.

​

✓ Loose Hangers: If the system droops, the water is not channeling properly. A rattling sound may also occur when the gutters sit too loose in their hangers.
