Gutter Repair

Gutters in Southern Utah work harder than most homeowners realize. St. George may be a desert, but monsoon storms from July through September dump heavy rain in sudden bursts — and your gutters are the only thing channeling that water safely away from your foundation, siding, and landscaping. When gutters leak, sag, or separate at the seams, water pools where it shouldn't, and the damage adds up fast. Washington County Roof and Gutter Repair fixes gutter problems quickly and correctly so your home stays protected.

Our Repair Process

1. Full system inspection — We check the entire gutter run, not just the spot you noticed. Leaks in one area often signal wear in others, and we'd rather catch it all in one visit than have you call us back next month.
2. Diagnosis and quote — We identify the root cause — whether it's joint separation, hanger failure, slope problems, or corrosion — and give you a clear, written estimate before touching anything.
3. Targeted repair — Depending on the issue, we re-seal joints, replace damaged sections, re-hang sagging runs with heavy-duty hangers, or adjust slope to restore proper water flow to downspouts.
4. Flow test — After repair, we run water through the system to verify flow rate, check for drips at every joint, and confirm downspouts are routing water away from the foundation.

Why Gutter Repair Matters in Southern Utah

The desert climate creates a specific set of gutter problems. Intense UV radiation degrades sealants at joints and end caps, causing leaks that worsen each monsoon season. Thermal cycling — daily temperature swings of 30–40°F — causes aluminum gutters to expand and contract, loosening hangers and pulling seams apart over time. And when monsoon rains arrive, they arrive fast: one-inch-per-hour downpours are common, and gutters with even small capacity issues overflow immediately, sending water cascading down your walls and pooling at your foundation.

Dust and debris also accumulate quickly in our dry, windy climate, clogging gutters and adding weight that accelerates sagging — especially in sections shaded by trees where cottonwood fluff and leaves collect.

Materials & Techniques

• Seamless aluminum sections — When a section needs replacing, we use seamless aluminum that eliminates joint points where leaks start
• UV-rated sealants — Standard gutter sealant breaks down fast in our sun. We use products specifically rated for high-UV environments
• Heavy-duty hangers — Spaced closer together than standard installs to handle the weight of sudden monsoon water loads and resist thermal movement
• Proper slope correction — Gutters that have settled or shifted get re-sloped to a minimum 1/4-inch per 10 feet, ensuring water moves to downspouts instead of standing in the channel

Signs You Need Gutter Repair

• Water dripping from gutter seams or end caps during rain
• Gutters visibly pulling away from the fascia board
• Sagging sections where water pools instead of flowing
• Staining or erosion at the foundation line below gutters
• Paint peeling on fascia boards or soffits near gutters
• Water overflowing during moderate rain (capacity or slope issue)
• Mildew or moss growing near the roofline

Gutter damage only gets worse with each storm. Contact Washington County Roof and Gutter Repair for a free inspection — we'll identify every issue and get your system working before the next monsoon hits.
