When Gutters Need More Than Cleaning
A clean gutter that is sagging, leaking at joints, or pulling away from the fascia is not doing its job. The water it collects goes somewhere it should not — behind the fascia board, into wall cavities, or pooling against the foundation. Gutter repair addresses the structural and sealant failures that cleaning cannot fix.
We identify repair needs as a routine part of every cleaning visit and report them to homeowners with no obligation to proceed. If repairs are needed, we provide a separate written quote and can schedule the work separately or, for simple repairs, complete it in the same visit.
Types of Gutter Repairs We Handle
Leaking Joint Sealing
Gutter section joints crack and open over time, especially in older aluminum gutters subject to thermal expansion. We clean, dry, and reseal with professional-grade sealant.
Sagging Section Re-levelling
Gutters sag when spikes or screws loosen or fascia boards deteriorate. We replace fasteners and re-pitch the gutter to ensure proper drainage toward the downspout.
Downspout Reattachment
Downspouts that have pulled away from the wall or gutter outlet are reattached and secured. Elbows and extensions repositioned as needed.
Hidden Gutter Assessment
Built-in (box/hidden) gutters common in Vancouver heritage homes require specialized inspection. We assess liner condition and provide resealing where accessible.
Spike & Screw Replacement
Original gutter spikes pull out of fascia wood over years of freeze-thaw cycles. We replace with hex-head screws that provide a stronger, more lasting hold.
End Cap Replacement
Cracked or missing end caps allow water to drip behind the fascia. We replace and reseal end caps as part of a repair visit.
A Note on Hidden Gutters in Vancouver
Heritage homes throughout Vancouver (particularly in Shaughnessy, Kitsilano, and Mount Pleasant), New Westminster's Queen's Park, Fort Langley, and older areas of North Shore cities often have built-in gutters — also called hidden gutters or box gutters — that are integrated into the roof structure rather than hanging off the fascia.
These are common in homes built before the 1960s and are also found on some custom and luxury homes built to traditional design standards. They are more difficult to access than standard gutters, and when their interior liner fails, water can enter the roof structure directly. Signs of hidden gutter problems include interior ceiling staining near exterior walls, soft spots in roofline framing, and water marks on fascia below the roofline.
We provide basic assessment and resealing for hidden gutters. For full liner replacement, we can refer you to appropriate roofing and waterproofing specialists.

Repair vs. Replace — How We Advise
We provide honest guidance on whether repair or replacement is the better value. General guidance:
Isolated joint leaks or loose fasteners on otherwise sound gutters. Sagging on one section. Downspout issues. Gutters are less than 15 years old.
Multiple failing joints throughout the run. Significant rust or corrosion. Gutters over 20 years old with recurring issues. Fascia board damage requiring full removal anyway.

Eavestrough repair in Vancouver
Eavestrough repair in Vancouver is the same work as gutter repair: resealing leaking joints, rehanging sagging runs, replacing loose fasteners and fixing cracked end caps. Eavestrough is the older word many Vancouver homeowners still use for the gutter along the roofline. We repair both the same way, with a written quote before work starts.
Most eavestrough trouble shows up between November and March, when a run that is already clogged or sagging takes the weight of 1,150 millimetres of annual rain. Older sectional runs on East Vancouver and North Shore houses usually fail at the seams first. We check the fascia behind the eavestrough before we reseal anything, because new sealant on a soft board will not hold. If the metal has rusted through, we tell you so. Our guide on what an eavestrough is explains the term if you are comparing quotes.
Downspout repair in Vancouver
Downspout repair covers reattaching a downspout that has pulled off the wall, re-seating a loose elbow, fixing a split seam, and clearing a blockage so water leaves the roof again. In Vancouver the usual cause is moss, leaves and needles packing the elbows until the weight of a November downpour works the whole downspout loose.
We set the extension so water runs away from the footing instead of pooling there. That matters on flat lots in Richmond and on sloped North Shore lots where runoff heads for a retaining wall. If the downspout is only blocked, downspout cleaning may be all you need, and we flush it to find out.
Gutter repair cost in Vancouver, and what drives it
Gutter repair cost in Vancouver depends on how many joints or hangers need work, how many storeys the ladder has to reach, whether the fascia behind the gutter is sound, and how long the run is. A single leaking corner costs far less than a sagging run along a whole side of the house.
The material (aluminum, steel or vinyl), the amount of sealant or the number of new hangers, and how steep or awkward the roofline is all move the number too. We look at the job and write the price down before we start. When the gutters are old enough that repair and replacement both make sense, we tell you which is the better value. For replacement pricing, read our gutter replacement cost guide. For upkeep, see our gutter cleaning cost guide.
