In our seemingly never ending quest to keep the house water tight, we've updated a couple gutters around the house and Matt does an amazing job of getting up there pretty much every couple weeks to clear them out. We thought we were pretty set (well, until we get a new roof and replace all the gutters, which is definitely on the list of to do's) when Matt noticed a problem.
Can you spot the issue with the picture above? If you said, hmm, Abbey, it seems like there's a lot of dirt on that window cover, like maybe it had gotten splashed up there, well you'd be right. During one of his "rain ready" inspections, Matt also noticed this and, looking up, realized that this spot exactly corresponded to where one of the gutters ended. So we took a look and quickly realized the angle was off and the gutter was actually sloping the wrong way! Definitely not good. Fortunately, 20 minutes with a latter, some silicone, a couple screws combined with Matt's determination and that gutter didn't stand a chance.
The angle is now right where it's supposed to be and we haven't had a problem since.
