When Gutters Need More Than Cleaning
A clean gutter that is sagging, leaking at joints, or pulling away from the fascia is not doing its job. The water it collects goes somewhere it should not — behind the fascia board, into wall cavities, or pooling against the foundation. Gutter repair addresses the structural and sealant failures that cleaning cannot fix.
We identify repair needs as a routine part of every cleaning visit and report them to homeowners with no obligation to proceed. If repairs are needed, we provide a separate written quote and can schedule the work separately or, for simple repairs, complete it in the same visit.
Types of Gutter Repairs We Handle
Leaking Joint Sealing
Gutter section joints crack and open over time, especially in older aluminum gutters subject to thermal expansion. We clean, dry, and reseal with professional-grade sealant.
Sagging Section Re-levelling
Gutters sag when spikes or screws loosen or fascia boards deteriorate. We replace fasteners and re-pitch the gutter to ensure proper drainage toward the downspout.
Downspout Reattachment
Downspouts that have pulled away from the wall or gutter outlet are reattached and secured. Elbows and extensions repositioned as needed.
Hidden Gutter Assessment
Built-in (box/hidden) gutters common in Vancouver heritage homes require specialized inspection. We assess liner condition and provide resealing where accessible.
Spike & Screw Replacement
Original gutter spikes pull out of fascia wood over years of freeze-thaw cycles. We replace with hex-head screws that provide a stronger, more lasting hold.
End Cap Replacement
Cracked or missing end caps allow water to drip behind the fascia. We replace and reseal end caps as part of a repair visit.
A Note on Hidden Gutters in Vancouver
Heritage homes throughout Vancouver (particularly in Shaughnessy, Kitsilano, and Mount Pleasant), New Westminster's Queen's Park, Fort Langley, and older areas of North Shore cities often have built-in gutters — also called hidden gutters or box gutters — that are integrated into the roof structure rather than hanging off the fascia.
These are common in homes built before the 1960s and are also found on some custom and luxury homes built to traditional design standards. They are more difficult to access than standard gutters, and when their interior liner fails, water can enter the roof structure directly. Signs of hidden gutter problems include interior ceiling staining near exterior walls, soft spots in roofline framing, and water marks on fascia below the roofline.
We provide basic assessment and resealing for hidden gutters. For full liner replacement, we can refer you to appropriate roofing and waterproofing specialists.
Repair vs. Replace — How We Advise
We provide honest guidance on whether repair or replacement is the better value. General guidance:
Isolated joint leaks or loose fasteners on otherwise sound gutters. Sagging on one section. Downspout issues. Gutters are less than 15 years old.
Multiple failing joints throughout the run. Significant rust or corrosion. Gutters over 20 years old with recurring issues. Fascia board damage requiring full removal anyway.
