Can Leaky Gutters Be Repaired?

Katelyn Lewis • August 17, 2022

Can a leaky gutter be repaired?

The answer depends on the issue at hand.

If a section of your gutters is pulling away from your house, there may be a few screws loose. In this case, it would be an easy repair so long as the gutters themselves aren't damaged. And if there's a small hole or two in your gutters, you may be able to use a sealant to fix the issue temporarily. However, if the gutters are bent, rusting, or sagging, you may need to consider replacing at least that segment of your gutters.

At Retex Roofing & Exteriors, we offer both gutter repair and gutter replacement services so you can gain peace of mind before the next storm. The above photos show a recent repair Retex's Caleb Hennon completed on-the-spot for a homeowner in Richmond VA. Caleb installed fasteners and a piece of flashing to seal up the gap that was allowing water to flow between the gutters and this home.

If your siding is 20+ years old, it’s worth getting a pro to assess it, even if it looks okay. Hidden issues can lurk beneath the surface.

Always get detailed, apples-to-apples quotes so you know exactly what’s included (tear-off, underlayment, warranties, disposal, etc.) to avoid surprise costs or a roof replacement that’s not up to state code requirements.

This story began in April 2022, when a neighbor with many hats – a fellow Surreywoodian, a local pastor, and owner of an auto mechanic shop – reached out to RETEX’s Josh Lewis and Mark Erickson to assess his church’s roof and siding after experiencing hail damage.
