Sagging gutter sections
Answer: call a roofer.
Gutter sections that sag or pull away from the fascia board no longer channel water properly, causing overflow that erodes landscaping, stains siding, and can lead to foundation damage. Sagging is typically caused by loose or failed hangers, accumulated debris weight, ice damage, or rotted fascia. A roofer or gutter specialist can rehang the sections with properly spaced brackets, replace damaged hangers, repair fascia, and ensure correct slope for drainage.
