Gutters Pulling Away From the Fascia Board? Dit is wie je moet bellen
Gutters that are visibly separating from the fascia board, sagging between brackets, or pulling away at the mounting points are a problem that worsens with every rainstorm. The most common cause is the accumulated weight of water, wet leaves, and debris that overloads the hangers or spikes — especially when the gutters have not been cleaned in over a year. Rotted fascia wood is the second major culprit: the screws or nails lose their grip in softened wood, and the entire gutter section droops. In colder climates, ice dams can pry gutters away from the roofline overnight. A sagging or detached gutter directs rainwater against the foundation, erodes landscaping, stains siding, and can cause basement flooding or crawlspace moisture. A roofer can remove the old fasteners, repair or replace any rotted fascia sections, reinstall the gutter with heavy-duty hidden hangers spaced every 24 inches, verify proper slope toward the downspouts, and add gutter guards to reduce future debris buildup.
