Leaks
Bristol gutter leaks, fixed where they start
Stand under the drip in a rain and look up. The part of the gutter above it decides the repair, and each kind of leak has its own fix.
Dripping at a corner of the house
The mitered corner has opened. It is resealed, or replaced with a new corner if it has pulled apart.
Dripping at the end of a run
The end cap seal has failed. The cap is resealed, or a new cap is fitted.
Water down the wall beside the downspout
The outlet, where the downspout leaves the gutter, has lost its seal and is resealed to the trough.
Drips spaced along the run
On a sectional gutter these line up with its joints. Each seam can be resealed, or the run replaced with seamless gutter when the seams keep failing.
A drip at a screw head
A fastener through the gutter has loosened or rusted. It is replaced and the spot is sealed.
Drips from the middle of the trough
A small rust spot away from any joint. A small one is patched; several along the bottom mean that length is replaced.
Patch, new section or new gutter
A single leak is a repair, and the rest of the gutter is left as it is. A section that is bent is cut out and replaced. When the whole run is past repair, new seamless gutter formed on site takes its place, and the old gutter is taken down and hauled away. We repair gutters that other companies installed as well as our own.
Leaks that come with a sag
A run that has dropped pulls on its own joints. As the middle sags, the corners and end caps at either end are strained open, and a seal that held for years starts to drip. Resealing those joints alone does not last while the run still hangs low, so the gutter is rehung at its proper fall and the joints are sealed with it. Mention a sag along with the leak when you ask.
Downspout leaks
When the leak is in the downspout
Not every drip comes from the gutter. The downspout has joints of its own, and water leaking from them lands right at the foot of the wall.
At an elbow
Water spraying from a bend means the elbow has pulled apart or cracked. It is refitted and fastened, or replaced.
Along the pipe
A split or crushed downspout leaks along its side and is replaced.
At the wall straps
A downspout that has come off its straps sags and opens its joints. It is strapped back to the wall.
At the bottom
A crushed or missing bottom elbow lets water spray against the wall. A new elbow, with an extension if needed, points it away.
Gutter guards
Guards on Bristol gutters
Guards are covers fitted over the gutters you already have. The gutters are cleaned and any leak or loose section is repaired before a guard goes on, since the guard sits over whatever is underneath.
Guards suit gutters under trees that drop leaves and needles into the trough. On a roof with nothing overhead, a cleaning now and then may be all the gutters need.
What guards change
Leaves, needles and twigs stay on top of the guard instead of settling in the trough and packing the outlet.
What they do not change
A guard does nothing for a sag or a gutter with the wrong slope.
Upkeep with guards
Fine grit and small seeds still get through, so the gutters need clearing now and then, just less than without guards.
New or existing gutters
Guards can go on a new seamless system at the start, or on sound gutters that are already up.
Cleaning
Gutter cleaning without guards
Cleared by hand
Leaves, needles and grit are lifted out of every run, down to bare metal.
Downspouts run through
Each downspout is flushed so water reaches the ground from top to bottom.
Hauled off
The debris leaves with us.
Damage pointed out
An open corner or a loose hanger found while cleaning is reported to you, with what it would take to fix.
New gutters
New gutters and downspout changes
New seamless gutters
Formed on site to each roof edge in the 6-inch standard size, or half-round in aluminum or copper, colored to match the trim.
Moving downspouts
Moved, extended or added above ground so water lands away from doors and walls. We do not install underground drains, French drains or grading.
Commercial buildings in Bristol
Offices, shops, churches and warehouses in Bristol get the same leak repairs, guards and cleaning as houses. The work is scheduled around business hours, so the building stays open while it is done. A manager with more than one building can put them on one request. Say how many stories each building has and which side the leaks are on.
Details that help with a quote
For a leak, say which corner or wall it is on and whether the water drips from the gutter or runs down the downspout. For guards, say roughly how many feet of gutter the building has, or how many sides, and what kind of trees stand over the roof, since pine needles and broad leaves sit differently on a guard. Our office in Wewahitchka takes requests by phone Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and through the form at any time.
