How to Fix a Leaky Gutter

Introduction

This guide discusses how to fix a leaky gutter will help beginners who need to fix a leaky gutter without having to hire a professional and can do it on their own, no experience required! I think this guide is needed since it can be extremely expensive to get a professional to help with a leaky gutter system. Also, sometimes professionals can be busy and possibly have you wait a week or so for them to come over and fix the problem. When gutters are leaking and one does not fix the problem, it could result in roof problems and wood rot.

   • Clean the area around the leak with a wire bush or garden trowel and a bucket, taking out the leaves and debris placing what you remove in the bucket and flushing the gutters with water using a hose to make sure you have a clean area, as well as rinsing and drying the area thoroughly.

   • Since this requires a ladder, it is better to have another adult nearby just to stay safe!
