A gutter that holds water after the rain has stopped has lost its fall somewhere. Over the years hangers loosen, a ladder bends a run, a heavy load of wet needles pulls a stretch down, and water starts to stand, overflow and rot the wood behind it.
We check every run with a level, find where the fall has gone, and screw new hangers into the rafter tails to bring it back: a quarter inch every ten feet toward the outlet. Leaking corners and end caps are cleaned and resealed, and any soft fascia is replaced before the gutter goes back up.
If the gutter itself is sound and the trouble is a few hangers or joints, repair it. If it's sectional with leaking seams all along, or bent in many places, a new seamless run often costs less over ten years.
Why does water stand in my gutter?+
Because a stretch has lost its fall, usually from a loose or missing hanger. Standing water rots the fascia and breeds mosquitoes; re-pitching it takes an hour or two.
