Gutter leaking at joints — New York, New York
Leaks at gutter joints and seams are the most common gutter failure. Sealant degrades over time, and thermal expansion widens gaps between sections. Leaking gutters pour water against the fascia, soffit, and foundation instead of channeling it away, causing rot and basement moisture. A gutter specialist can reseal joints, replace damaged sections, or install seamless gutters to eliminate joints entirely.

Flat roofs are the norm in NYC, and they suffer from ponding water, membrane degradation, and ice dam issues. Harsh winter weather combined with summer heat expansion accelerates wear, and building codes require periodic roof inspections.
