What we fix
Gutter repairs and installs
Why it sags
What makes a Callaway gutter drop or lean out
A gutter hangs on hangers fastened through its back into the fascia board. It sags when that support gives way somewhere along the run.
Hangers spaced too far apart
With long gaps between hangers, the gutter bends between them.
Fasteners worked loose
A screw or spike that has backed out of the board lets that part of the gutter drop and tip forward.
Spike-and-ferrule hangers
Older gutters were held by long spikes driven through the gutter into the board. Over the years they work loose one by one.
A heavy, full trough
Wet leaves and water weigh far more than an empty gutter, and that load pulls hard on every hanger.
Bent metal
A section that has been hit stays bent, and the run sags at that point.
The repair
Rehanging the run and resetting its slope
A sag is fixed by giving the gutter back its support and its fall. Because the fall matters as much as the hold, a dropped run is set again along its length, not only where it dips.
Refastened and rehung
Loose hangers are fastened again, and new hangers are added where the spacing was too wide.
Bent pieces replaced
A kinked or crushed section is cut out and replaced, or the whole run is replaced when the damage is long.
End caps and corners resealed
Where the sag pulled an end cap or a corner open, the seal is renewed.
When a sagging run should come down
Rehanging works when the metal is sound. When the gutter sags in several places, has rusted through along the bottom, or was pieced together from short sections that leak at each seam, new seamless gutters formed on site are the better use of the money. The old gutters are taken down and hauled away, and the new runs are hung in the 6-inch standard size in a color to match the trim.
If only one run of several has failed, that run alone can be replaced, formed on site.
Overflow and streaks that come with a sag
A sagging run causes two other things you may already see. The dip holds water, and in a rain the gutter spills over at that low point instead of carrying the water to the downspout. Where the run has tipped forward, water slips down behind it and streaks the fascia and the wall below. Rehanging the run straight and snug to the board takes care of both, as long as its outlet is clear.
Describing the sag when you call
Say which wall the sagging gutter is on and roughly how long the dip is, whether it is on the first or second story, and whether the gutter has pulled away from the board or only bends in the middle. If water sits in the gutter for days after a rain, mention that too.
Cleaning
Gutter cleaning in Callaway, done by hand
Book a cleaning when you see water spilling over the front edge in a rain, or plants growing in the trough.
How fast a gutter fills depends on what hangs over the roof. A roof under pines or oaks fills sooner than an open one, so it makes sense to book by what you see rather than by the calendar.
By hand
Leaves, needles and roof grit are scooped out of every run by hand.
Downspouts flushed
Water is run through each downspout to push out anything lodged in the elbows.
Debris taken away
What comes out of the gutters leaves with us instead of going into your yard or bin.
Problems reported
A loose hanger or a leaking joint spotted during cleaning is reported to you, with what it would take to fix.
Carports, utility rooms and lower roofs
Lower roofs shed water too, and they can take their own short seamless runs with downspouts placed away from the door you use every day. A carport roof, a utility room lean-to and the main eave can all go on one quote, and a sagging run on any of them is rehung the same way as one on the house.
