Gutter Repair in Deltona, FL

Gutter systems can break or fail for various reasons. One of the main reasons is clogging, where debris such as leaves, twigs, and other materials can accumulate in the gutters and cause water to overflow, leading to the gutters breaking or failing. Another reason is poor installation, which can result in improper slope, improper fastening, and inadequate support, causing the gutters to sag or pull away from the house. Weather extremes such as heavy rain or winds can also cause damage to gutters, leading to cracks and leaks. In addition, age and wear and tear can cause the gutters to deteriorate and eventually break or fail. It’s important to regularly inspect and maintain your gutter system to prevent and address these issues, and to avoid costly repairs or replacements in the future. When these problems occur, that’s when you need The Brothers to come in for a gutter repair service.

Do Your Old Gutters Need Gutter Repair?

The term “old gutters” is subjective, but some signs that your gutters may be due for repair are if they are:

  • Installed with spike and ferrule
  • Showing significant exterior color fade
  • Have seams along the run of the gutter

When we visit to address repairs, we sometimes realize that, rather than a repair, a gutter installation is in order. If you’re noticing leaks around the seams of your gutters, it might be time for seamless gutters. Furthermore, if you have gutters with spikes and ferrules – a sign that they’re over 20 years old – there’s a chance the fascia boards are rotting too, which is indicative that a replacement is needed.

  • Your gutter is hanging off of your home – depending on how severe this is, you may need a replacement, as well.
  • Downspout has disconnected from home
  • Water in basement
  • Water in home
  • Leaking or dripping gutter seams
  • Gutters are overflowing – although you may just need them cleaned!

  • Spike & ferrules pulling away from the gutter where you can see the nail head popping out
  • Lines in your landscape below the gutter indicating that water may be overflowing
  • Mold in areas below where gutters are, or should be
  • Rotting deck boards, windowsills, garage doors, and regular doors below where gutters are, or should be
  • Erosion in landscape or mulch beds indicating that excessive water flow may be coming from the direction of your home
  • Cracking or upheaval of sidewalks, patios, driveways and stairs
  • Paint flaking or peeling prematurely in areas near the base of the home
  • Dips or back pitch in gutters

If your gutters are installed correctly and kept well-maintained with periodic cleanings or covered with gutter guards, they can last up to 30 years; however, neglected gutters tend to break down within 10 to 15 years causing them to need a gutter repair service earlier than one that has been more regularly maintained.

Cleaning and Repair – Which do I Need? 

It is important to remedy these overflow issues because continued run-off can lead to many serious and expensive issues for your home like water damage, flooding, and foundation damage.  

During an evaluation, our professionally trained staff can determine whether your gutter system needs gutter cleaning services, or if your overflow is due to other issues that may involve a repair or a replacement. The right solution for your gutters is not a cookie-cutter plan, and each home often requires a unique solution that should be fully and properly assessed by a professional.  

If you have a gutter overflow, contact The Brothers that just do Gutters today for your free estimate. You can trust us to properly diagnose your situation, and provide the best solution for your home. 

Overflowing at or near the downspout is a tell-tale sign that you need gutter cleaning services and there is likely a blockage in your downspout that is inhibiting the water from flowing down the downspout. 

Whereas, overflow that is occurring in the middle of a gutter, and/or at the opposite end of a downspout typically indicates the need for a repair or reinstall because this could: 

  1. be a sign of a pitch issue
  2. mean your gutters are too small
  3. mean there are not enough leaders or downspouts
  4. be your gutters are sagging/pulling from your home due to age, or install issues 

Other indications that you have overflow issues: 

  • Stained or cracked walls, siding, or foundation 
  • Pooling by your foundation 
  • Visible overflow from the front of the gutter or between the fascia and gutter in the rain 

There are less subtle signs as well. If you have a downspout that leads to an underground drain and the area around that drain is wet, then it is most likely clogged. 

Although the above lists are great indications and starting points to understanding what may be wrong with your gutter system, it is common for homeowners to misdiagnose the source of their gutter problems.

Hail Damage Repair for Your Gutter System

Hail storms can often wreak havoc on cars and homes. Because of the greater chance of roof damage during a hail storm, many homeowners start by inspecting their roofs. Your gutter system is also at risk of damage. Because hail damage repair to your gutter system can be costly, it is best when a professional can assess the damage and determine whether a full replacement is a better cost-benefit repair.

Because hail damage repair can be costly, we recommend that you call your insurance company. For that reason, you may want to work alongside a roofing company as well. Together they can best access the overall damage that your home has undergone.

It is a good idea to also consider covering your gutters with a guard to mitigate future damage. The best mesh guards are made of thicker and stronger materials than the gutters.

After a storm hits, you want to inspect your home for damage. If your roof has been damaged, there is a good chance that your gutter system has been too.
