Q: What typical problems might indicate the need for copper gutter repairs?

• <div><p>Leaks, corrosion, sagging sections, and loose fasteners are common problems that need fixing.</p></div>

Q: Should gutter downspouts touch the ground?

• <div><p>Unless you've chosen to install underground downspouts, your gutter downspouts shouldn't touch the ground. If they come into contact with the soil or pavement next to your home, rainwater can back up into them during a storm, preventing them from doing their job effectively. Instead, aim to have your downspouts end about 12 inches from the ground. </p></div>

Q: What is the best sealant for gutters?

• <div><p>The best way to seal gutters is with a combination of waterproof roofing cement and silicone gutter sealant. This powerful duo works to prevent water from escaping through holes and cracks while allowing for breathability. While you can use polyurethane sealants, silicone sealants tend to be more flexible when it comes to climate. Silicone is UV-resistant and bonds well to many surfaces. However, polyurethane sealant bonds better with wood. </p></div>

Q: My downspout isn’t draining properly, and I have overflowing gutters. What should I do?

• <div><p>You may have a clogged gutter. Downspouts can also clog if your gutter collects too much debris. Hire <a href="https://www.angi.com/companylist/gutter-cleaning.htm">a professional gutter cleaner</a>, and if you still have problems, install a gutter guard (which prevents debris from entering your gutter system) and a downspout extension (which helps drain water further away from your foundation, so it doesn't pool near your house).
