The most common gutter problems in Houston
- Sagging sections. Weight from packed debris and standing water pulls hangers loose. Gutters need to fall toward the downspout, about a quarter inch for every ten feet. Sagging reverses that.
- Leaking seams and end caps. Older sectional gutters (joined every ten feet) leak at the joints as sealant dries out in the Texas heat.
- Standing water. A gutter that holds water after rain is not pitched correctly. That water is a mosquito habitat and it adds weight.
- Pulling away from the fascia. Old spikes back out over time. Hidden hangers or screws fix this.
- Rotted fascia. Houston humidity is hard on wood. If the board behind the gutter is soft, new gutters just fall off again.
What we repair
Re-hang and re-pitch
Secure loose hangers, add supports and correct the slope so water actually reaches the downspout.
Re-seal seams and end caps
Clean and re-seal leaking joints, corners and end caps.
Replace damaged sections
Cut out crushed or corroded sections and replace them where a repair is practical.
When repair is not the answer
If gutters are cracked in many places, badly corroded or undersized for your roof, repairs only delay the replacement. Builder-grade five-inch gutters on large or steep roofs are a common example: in Houston’s downpours they can overflow no matter how clean they are. In that case, a larger gutter or larger downspouts is the real fix, and we say so.
Typical Houston gutter repair costs about $240 to $480. Fascia and soffit repairs are a separate cost and depend on how much wood is rotted. See more in the cost guide.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my gutter hold water after it rains?
Usually the pitch is wrong or the gutter has sagged. Standing water adds weight and breeds mosquitoes, so it is worth fixing.
Can you repair a leaking gutter seam?
Often yes. Clean, dry metal and fresh sealant fix most seam leaks. If the metal is corroded through, replacement of that section is better.
Should I replace or repair?
If damage is limited to a few spots, repair. If the gutters are undersized, badly rusted or pulling off rotted fascia, replacement makes more sense.
