Gutter Repair in Marietta, GA
Most gutter problems are repairable. A leaking corner, a sagging section, a downspout that's pulled away from the wall, a hanger that's worked loose. The trick is figuring out whether your gutters have years of life left with a few targeted repairs or whether they're at the end of their service life and you're just delaying replacement.
We do gutter repair across Marietta, GA and Cobb County. Honest about which problems are worth repairing and which mean it's time to replace.
The Most Common Gutter Repairs
Leaking corners and seams
Old silicone caulk hardens and cracks. Mitered corners separate. Water drips down the corner of the house and stains the fascia and siding. We pull the old sealant, clean the joint properly, and re-seal with butyl-based gutter sealant that flexes with thermal movement.
Sagging sections
Caused by failed hangers, ice load, or long unsupported spans. We re-pitch to the downspout, install fresh hidden hangers at 24 inches on center (tighter on long runs), and verify the fascia behind is sound.
Pulled-away downspouts
Downspouts pull off the wall when the straps fail or when ice forms inside. We re-attach with proper aluminum straps screwed into the wall, replace any deformed sections, and check that the discharge is directed away from the foundation.
Loose or missing hangers
Old spike-and-ferrule hangers eventually pull out of the fascia. We replace with hidden hangers that grip the gutter from inside and screw into the fascia with proper structural fasteners.
Holes from rust, ladder damage, or impact
Small holes can be patched with sheet aluminum and butyl sealant. Larger sections of damage usually warrant cutting in a new section, which is straightforward on a seamless gutter system.
Overflow during heavy rain
Usually means the gutters are clogged or undersized for the catchment area. We clean, inspect for debris in the downspouts, and check the size against the roof area. Sometimes the fix is a 3x4 downspout upgrade or an additional downspout, not a full replacement.

When Repair Stops Making Sense
Multiple sections of failure
If we're finding sagging, leaking, and rust on multiple sections, the repair cost approaches replacement and you're putting money into gutters that have run their course.
Galvanized gutters past their service life
If your gutters are galvanized steel and over 25 years old, they're likely rusted from the inside. Repair won't reverse that. Replacement with seamless aluminum is the right call.
Sectional gutters with widespread joint failure
If your gutters are old-style sectional (with a joint every 10 feet), every joint is a future leak. Replacing them with seamless gives you 20+ years instead of fighting the same problem repeatedly.
We'll tell you straight when repair is the right answer and when it isn't.
