Troubleshooting
Gutter leaking at joints
Ensure all connections are securely clipped or sealed according to manufacturer instructions. Check for any debris preventing a flush fit.
Water pooling in gutter sections
Verify that the fascia brackets are installed with a sufficient downward slope towards the outlet. Adjust bracket positions if necessary.
Outlet blockage
Remove the balloon outlet leaf guard and clear any accumulated debris. Ensure the guard is properly seated after cleaning.
Fascia brackets loosening
Check and tighten the screws securing the brackets to the fascia board. Ensure the fascia board itself is sound and provides adequate support.
