Gutter Repair in Lansing, MI

Common Gutter Problems We Fix

• Sagging sections — usually caused by failed or under-spaced hangers, often worsened by ice weight in winter
• Leaking seams and end caps — sectional gutter joints where old sealant has dried out and cracked
• Pulled-away gutters — hangers torn loose from the fascia, often from ice buildup or a ladder leaned against the gutter
• Overflow and staining — frequently a pitch problem rather than a material failure; water isn't reaching the downspout
• Holes and corrosion — more common in older galvanized steel gutters than aluminum
• Downspout separation — joints between downspout sections popping apart, usually from clogs or ice

Repair vs. Replacement

Not every gutter problem calls for a full system replacement. As a rule of thumb: if the aluminum itself is sound and the issues are isolated to a few sections, hangers, or seams, repair is usually the more cost-effective path. If the gutters are undersized for the roof, heavily corroded, or the fascia behind them is failing in multiple spots, replacement (see our gutter replacement page) tends to be the better long-term investment. We'll give you a straight recommendation either way during the estimate.

Our Repair Process

• Inspect the full gutter run, not just the spot you called about — other issues are often close by
• Re-secure or replace failed hangers and brackets
• Reseal or replace failed seams and end caps
• Re-pitch sections that are holding water instead of draining
• Check fascia condition behind the repaired section

Signs You Should Call for a Repair Now

Water streaking down siding, gutters visibly pulling away from the roofline, and pooling water after rain are all signs worth acting on before winter, since standing water and loose hangers make ice dam and further structural damage more likely once temperatures drop.
