Wisconsin Winter Damage Gutter Repair

Has harsh Wisconsin winter ice dams left your gutters sagging? Ice dam damage can cause damage to your Milwaukee gutters leaving them sagging. Below are some quick and easy methods for repairing your sagging damaged gutters.

The quickest and easiest way to repair your Milwaukee gutter damage is with spikes and ferrules, which can be found at your local hardware store. For this method of gutter repair, the ferrules act as spacers while giving the needed support and the long spikes tighten and secure them eliminating any sagging. In order to ensure stability you will want to drive the spike into the rafters for full support. To locate the rafters, look for nail heads in the board directly behind the gutter, known as the fascia.

If you are uneasy about punching holes in your gutters, as they are designed to carry water, an alternative method can be used. Brackets that wrap around the gutter and are then secured by nails driven under the shingles can also be used. The only problem with the method is you might find yourself damaging brittle shingles causing more harm than good. This alternative method will fix your sagging gutters, but may also add roof repairs to your Milwaukee home repairs list.
