What Causes a Dripping Joint

Every plastic gutter run is made up of lengths clipped into fittings with rubber gaskets. As the gaskets age they harden and shrink, and winter cold can pull a length partly out of its fitting. Debris packed into a joint can stop it sealing. On cast iron gutters, the sealant between bolted sections dries out and cracks.

At a leaking union, the fitter may release the clip, renew the seal and reseat both gutter ends. A drip can also come from a poor fall or a cracked fitting, so the joint should be water-tested afterwards.

The Repair Process

  1. Water is run through the gutter to find the exact leak.
  2. Debris is removed and the fitting unclipped or unbolted.
  3. The seal is cleaned and re-seated, or a new gasket or fitting is fitted.
  4. A final water test checks the repair holds.

How Much to Fix a Leaking Gutter Joint in Shildon?
