Fix Sagging & Leaking Gutters
🏚️ Is Your "Gutter System" More of a "Water Feature"?
In older Marietta neighborhoods—like those near Whitlock Avenue or Church Street—homes have character. But they also have age. Over time, the spikes that hold your gutters to the house work themselves loose, seals dry out, and heavy storms take a toll.
You might notice a steady drip on your head when you walk out the front door, or maybe the gutter looks like a crooked smile, sagging in the middle. These aren't just cosmetic issues; a broken gutter is often worse than no gutter at all because it concentrates water right where you don't want it: against your wood fascia and siding.
🛠️ Don't Replace It If You Can Repair It
Many homeowners think that once a gutter starts leaking or pulling away, they have to rip the whole system down and spend thousands on a replacement. That isn't always true.
At Project Purpose, we believe in honest assessments. If your system has life left in it, we’ll fix it.
Common Issues We Tackle:
Sagging Sections: We replace old spikes with modern, heavy-duty hidden hangers that screw directly into the rafter tails, pulling the gutter tight against the house.
Leaking Corners (Miters): The corners are the first to fail. We strip the old caulk and apply industrial-grade sealant to stop the drips.
Rotting Fascia: If the wood behind the gutter is soft, the gutter has nothing to hold onto. We can help identify and address these attachment issues.
Loose Downspouts: We re-secure straps and ensure the pipe is firmly attached to the wall.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (Gutter Repair)
How do I know if it needs repair or replacement? If the metal itself is rusted through, cracked, or bent significantly, it might need replacement. However, if the gutter is just loose, leaking at the seams, or sagging, a repair is usually the perfect solution.
Why is my gutter pulling away from the house? Usually, this is caused by the weight of wet debris (clogs) or rotting fascia board. The nails/spikes slowly pull out of the wood over years of expansion and contraction.
