Gutter Repair Services
Common Problems We Fix
Leaking Joints and Seams Sectional gutters develop leaks where pieces connect. We seal or replace damaged sections.
Sagging and Pulling Away Gutters heavy with debris or water pull away from the fascia. We realign and resecure with proper hangers.
Holes and Corrosion Small holes can be patched; extensive damage requires section replacement.
Improper Slope Gutters must slope toward downspouts. We adjust slope for proper drainage.
Clogged Downspouts We clear blockages and install larger downspouts if needed.
When to Repair vs Replace
Repair when:
- Damage is localized
- Gutters are less than 15 years old
- Problems are isolated joint failures
Replace when:
- Multiple sections are damaged
- Gutters are old and worn throughout
- Constant problems despite repairs
- You want to upgrade to seamless

- Foundation water damage
- Basement flooding
- Erosion near the home

Why Gutters Matter
Foundation Protection
Water pooling near your foundation causes:
- Cracks from freeze/thaw cycles
- Settling and shifting
- Basement water intrusion
- Costly structural repairs
Landscaping Preservation
Uncontrolled roof runoff:
- Erodes soil and mulch
- Damages plants near the house
- Creates muddy areas
- Washes away plantings
Siding and Trim Protection
Water cascading from overflowing gutters:
- Stains and damages siding
- Rots wood trim and fascia
- Promotes mold growth
- Causes paint failure
Preventing Ice Dams
Properly functioning gutters with good drainage reduce ice dam formation by:
- Moving water away quickly
- Preventing standing water that freezes
- Reducing freeze/thaw cycles at eaves
Local Gutter Challenges
Walnut Creek & Contra Costa County
Northgate and Ygnacio Valley: Mature oak trees drop heavy debris. We recommend 6” oversized gutters with solid cover guards for these neighborhoods.
Rossmoor: Flat roof homes drain to specific collection points. We ensure gutter systems integrate properly with existing drainage and meet MOD requirements.
Shell Ridge hillsides: Steep lots require extended downspout runs and underground drainage to protect foundations from erosion.
Fremont & Tri-City Area
Ardenwood: Salt air from the Bay corrodes standard aluminum faster. We use thicker gauge gutters and stainless steel hangers for coastal properties.
Mission San Jose hillsides: Fire zone requirements include non-combustible gutter materials and debris-free maintenance for defensible space.
Oakland, Berkeley & East Bay
Oakland Hills: Heavy tree coverage demands professional cleaning 3-4 times yearly. Gutter guards are essential in these neighborhoods.
Berkeley flats: Older homes often have undersized gutters. We upgrade to modern seamless systems that handle Bay Area storm intensity.
