Detailed Gutter Inspection & Customized Repair Solutions

Every gutter repair project begins with a detailed inspection of your existing gutters. Our experts carefully assess your gutter system to identify leaks, clogs, loose sections, or damage. This thorough inspection ensures we pinpoint all issues and determine the most accurate solution that meets your goals and budget. After the evaluation, we provide a clear plan for fixing your gutters – whether it’s a minor sealant touch-up or a more complex repair – so you know exactly what to expect. We prioritize repairs that will extend the lifespan of your gutters and restore proper water flow, saving you money by preventing further damage to your property.

Our Gutter Repair Services

Gutters can develop a variety of issues over time, especially with the heavy rains and storms common in Greater St. Louis and Southern Illinois. Best Dam Gutters Plus is equipped to handle all of them. Our comprehensive gutter repair services include:

• Sealant Repair: We reseal gutter seams, corner joints, end caps, and any other leaking connections. Over years, old sealant can crack or wear away, causing leaks. By applying high-quality waterproof sealant, we stop existing leaks and prevent water from dripping through gaps. This is a quick fix that protects your siding and foundation from runoff damage.

• Retrofit Gutter Hangers: If your gutters are sagging or pulling away from the roofline, we can secure them with new, heavy-duty hangers. We replace or add gutter hangers and brackets to ensure your gutters are firmly attached to the fascia. Proper hanger spacing and secure fasteners will keep your gutter runs straight and pitched correctly, preventing water from pooling. We’ll also check for any loose or rusted screws and tighten or replace them as needed.

• Downspout Repair: We fix and replace damaged downspouts to make sure rainwater is carried safely away from your building. Common downspout issues include disconnections at the gutters, dents or holes in the pipe, or clogs in elbow joints. Our team will reattach any loose downspout sections with sturdy brackets and screws, seal up any small cracks or holes, or swap in new downspout segments if needed. A functioning downspout is crucial to avoid water pooling around your foundation.

• Drainage Repair: In some cases, the problem isn’t just the gutters overhead but the drainage below. We can repair or reconfigure your buried gutter drain lines and extensions. If your downspouts lead into underground drain pipes or “french drains,” we’ll make sure they aren’t crushed, clogged, or improperly installed. For example, we’ve corrected cases where new construction homes had incorrectly pitched underground drains. We ensure that all downspout drains and exit points are clear and carry water away from your home, not toward it. If needed, we can even tie your gutter drainage into a storm sewer (with any required city approvals) to resolve persistent flooding issues.

• Fascia Board Repair: Your gutters depend on solid fascia boards for support. If we find any rotted or water-damaged wood behind your gutters, we can replace those fascia boards as part of the repair. Fixing the fascia ensures that new gutter hangers have a secure base and that your roof’s edge is protected. We use durable lumber and proper sealing to prevent future rot and keep your roofline sturdy.

• Soldering Repair: For metal gutter systems like copper or older tin gutters, soldered joints may develop leaks over time. Our technicians are skilled in soldering repairs, which involve heating and applying solder metal to seal joints or patch small holes in metal gutters. This technique creates a long-lasting bond and is especially important for preserving the look and integrity of historical or custom metal gutters. By re-soldering loose or leaky seams, we can restore the watertight performance of your gutter system without needing a full replacement.

Each of these repair services is performed with careful attention to detail and quality workmanship. Whether you have seamless aluminum gutters on a modern home or built-in box gutters on a historic property, we have the expertise to repair them properly. We also make sure to match materials (for instance, using aluminum components on aluminum gutters, or copper on copper) to avoid any issues with dissimilar metals causing corrosion in the future. Our goal is not just to fix the immediate problem, but to strengthen your entire gutter system for long-term reliability.

Factors Affecting Gutter Repair Pricing

We strive to provide cost-effective solutions, and we’ll always discuss pricing with you upfront. The cost of a gutter repair can vary depending on several factors. Some key gutter repair pricing factors include:

• The higher the gutters, the more time, equipment, and safety measures are required. Working on a single-story home (first-floor gutters roughly 0–10 feet off the ground) is straightforward and forms the baseline for pricing. A second-story gutter system will typically cost a bit more to repair because our crew needs to use taller ladders or special equipment to reach those gutters safely. For three-story buildings or taller, repairs become more challenging and time-consuming, which can further increase the cost. We have the tools and training to work at these heights, but the added complexity is reflected in pricing.

• Complexity of the Gutter System: Every gutter layout is different. Simple, straight runs of gutter with one downspout are easier to fix than an intricate system wrapping around multiple rooflines. If your gutter system has many corners, multiple levels, or sections that are hard to access, it may take extra labor to diagnose and repair issues. Features like gutter guards can also add complexity – we might need to remove and reinstall sections of guard to access the gutter for cleaning or repairs. Additionally, if there’s a mix of different materials (for example, an aluminum gutter connected to a copper downspout), special steps are needed to address any galvanic corrosion or ensure compatibility. We’ll factor all these elements into creating a solution that works best for your gutter system.

• Accessibility & Safety Requirements: Safety is our top priority during any repair. If parts of your gutter are in tricky or dangerous locations, the project may require extra precautions. For instance, we may need to walk on a steep roof, work around power lines, or set up a temporary scaffolding or platform to reach a section safely. Certain repairs (like soldering copper gutter joints) involve the use of heat or chemicals, which means our technicians must wear protective equipment and work carefully. Obstacles around your property – such as dense landscaping, structures close to the house, or limited ground access – can also affect how we plan the job. These access and safety considerations might add to the project time and cost, but they are necessary steps to ensure the work is done safely and correctly.

Despite these factors, Best Dam Gutters Plus always aims to provide affordable, transparent pricing. We’ll explain exactly what needs fixing and why, so you can make an informed decision. In many cases, repairing a gutter is far more cost-effective than letting problems continue and eventually paying for a full gutter replacement or, worse, water damage repairs to your home.
