PVC Gutter Repair

Common types of PVC gutter damage

• Sagging Gutters: As your gutters fill with water and debris, they grow heavier, putting more pressure on the fasteners. Over time, this can loosen or damage these fasteners, threatening to collapse the system. PVC gutters are lightweight which makes them more resistant, but they can still sag with enough additional weight. Luckily, repairing this problem is very affordable as long as you notice the signs early.

• Leaks/Holes: One nice advantage of PVC is that it is generally one continuous unit, meaning there aren’t seams to leak. However, holes can still occur due to debris and lead to leaks. If you notice signs of a leak, contact your local PVC gutter repair experts right away.

• Improper Pitch: Gutters are supposed to be slightly pitched towards the downspout, allowing for easy drainage. If this is not the case, perhaps because of a bad installation, then you will have standing water in the gutter. If you notice this happening, an expert gutter repair contractor can identify the area where the alignment is off and fix the pitch for you.
