What To Do When You Find Leaking Gutters

Leaking gutters can cause damage to homes, including flooding, damage to landscaping, and erosion or cracking of the foundation. Signs of leaking gutters include clogs, cracks, leaking roofs, peeling paint, and rust. Regular cleaning and maintenance of gutters is necessary to prevent leaks. To fix a leaking gutter, one should check for cracks, cover them with metal patches, remove debris, fill small holes with roofing cement, adjust or add gutter hangers, and dry the gutter after cleaning. If the gutter is blocked or damaged, it is best to call a professional to clear debris and repair the gutter.
