Holes and leaks are often the result of large debris or storm damage. Large holes in a gutter can sometimes be patched and sealed, while small holes may only require a sealant. The gutter joints can sometimes pull apart as well, which results in a leak. We fix those leaks by caulking and sealing the joint from the inside of the gutter.
Ideally, water will be channeled away from the foundation of the house by several feet on the ground. Otherwise, the water can drain right into the basement and/or cause water damage to the foundation. If you’ve ever had flooding in your basement, or you can see large pools of water forming right up against the foundation during/after a storm, then this may be why. We remedy this problem by adding gutter extensions to ensure it will drain far enough away from the house.
