Even the toughest gutters can develop cracks after prolonged exposure to the elements. It is therefore important to repair leaking gutters to prevent serious water damage to the roof, foundations, and sidings.
Luckily, with the right sealants, gutter and roof repair is an easy job.
Save Your House From Water Damage With the Right Roofing and Gutter Sealants
Rain, snow, and seasonal changes can wreak havoc on your roof and gutters. Fixing leaking gutters is essential to avoid expensive structural repairs. We recommend using gutter sealants to fix, seal, and repair your gutter.
After locating the issue, it is important to determine whether it needs repair or replacement. Clean up the area and dry up any moisture. Apply sealant around the affected areas. We recommend using Bond-It Rain Mate All Weather Sealant that is ideal for use even when damp. This sealant is also water repellent and highly flexible with excellent adhesion to different substrates.
Once you have repaired or replaced the damaged part, you can apply more sealant along the outer seam to prevent moisture and debris from compromising the gutter.
