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