Repairing a gutter can be a challenging job. The wrong installation of a gutter can result in water not flowing and, in certain instances, damage your home. In order to understand gutter repair, it is important to recognize the typical mistakes made by other people in order to have it in good working order.

The first thing you need to look out for is the straps holding the gutter against the wall of the home. If there is insufficient, then the gutter will move out of the place it was installed. It is possible that the number will vary depending on the area of the residence, but it is important that the top is strapped before the pipe bends and that the bottom of the pipe is secure to ensure that flow of water follows the correct direction.

Also, check that the downspout connects directly to the gooseneck. If this is not then it could require an anchor. When not properly connected the water may fall straight from the gutter to the earth, not via the downspout.

The attached video provides additional information regarding gutter repairs and typical errors.
