What it is & how it works

Gutter Leak Repair in plain English

Most gutter problems don't need a full replacement. Leaking end caps and miters, pulled-away hangers, sagging runs holding water, and blocked downspouts are all repairs we handle same-week — before the water finds your fascia, siding or foundation.

We start by running water through the system to find where it's actually escaping. Seam and miter leaks get cleaned back to bare metal and resealed with a gutter-grade tri-polymer sealant that stays flexible through PNW freeze-thaw — not the silicone bead most handymen use, which peels within a season. Sagging runs are re-pitched (about 1/4" of fall per 10 ft) and re-hung on hidden hangers screwed into solid fascia; where the fascia itself is soft, we replace the board before re-hanging. Clogged or undersized downspouts get flushed, re-strapped, and upsized to 3x4" if the run keeps overflowing. Overflow at a valley usually means the gutter is undersized or a splash guard is missing — both quick fixes. If a repair won't hold, we'll tell you what a seamless replacement would cost instead of patching it twice.

Understanding your options

Tiers, styles & what's included

Tap any tier to see exactly what's in it, what it costs relative to the others, and who it fits best.

Option 1

Seam, Miter & End Cap Leaks

The corners and joints are where sectional gutters almost always fail first.

  • Old sealant ground out and surface cleaned to bare metal
  • Gutter-grade tri-polymer sealant rated for standing water
  • Water-tested before we leave
  • Loose rivets replaced, not just re-sealed
Option 2

Sagging & Pulling-Away Runs

A gutter holding water is a gutter that's about to tear off the house.

  • Re-pitched for proper fall to the downspout
  • Hidden hangers every 24" into solid framing
  • Rotted fascia board replacement where needed
  • Spike-and-ferrule systems converted to hidden hangers
Option 3

Clogs, Overflow & Downspouts

If it only leaks in heavy rain, it's usually a flow problem, not a hole.

  • Full hand cleanout and downspout flush
  • Upsize to 3x4" downspouts on long runs
  • Splash guards added at valley dump points
  • Underground drain line checked for blockage

The system

How we approach a repair

A roof is a stack of layers — each one has a job. Here's what goes into every one we build, in plain English.

  1. Inspection & photo report
    Drone + attic + on-roof documentation
  2. Damaged shingles / flashing / boots
    Isolate the failure point
  3. Ice & water patch
    Peel-and-stick over the compromised area
  4. Matched shingle / metal replacement
    Blends into the surrounding field
  5. Sealant + fastener check
    Every nail and boot re-checked in the work zone

The honest take

Advantages & things to consider

Advantages

  • Same-week scheduling on active leaks
  • Far cheaper than replacing a whole gutter system
  • Fascia and soffit inspected for rot at the same time
  • Backed by our 10-year workmanship warranty

Things to consider

  • Sectional gutters over ~20 years old may keep leaking at new seams
  • Badly rotted fascia has to be replaced before re-hanging

Common questions

What Seattle homeowners ask us about gutter leak repair

How much does a gutter leak repair cost?+

Most seam, miter and hanger repairs run $250 – $650. Re-pitching a long run or replacing rotted fascia sections is typically $600 – $1,500. You get the price in writing with photos before we start.

Is it worth repairing or should I replace the gutters?+

If the gutters are aluminum, under about 20 years old, and the leaks are at a few joints, repair is the smart money. If seams are failing all over or the metal is corroded, seamless replacement usually costs less than repeated patch visits.

How fast can you come out?+

Most gutter repairs in King, Snohomish and Pierce County are scheduled within the same week — sooner if water is getting into the house.
