Gutter Repair in in Altamonte, Deltona, and the entire Central Florida East Area
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.
Obvious Signs that You May Need a Gutter Repair Service:
- 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!
Subtle Warning Signs that You May Need Repair:
- 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.
