list common faults in gutters?

Answer 1

Drunk people asleep in them!

Answer 2

Most common for mine- and I have a couple hundred feet--is the nails work out, so that water stands in some areas. Need to go around periodically and whack all the gutter nails back in.
Leaves are a prob if you have any trees overhanging your house--get plastic inserts to keep them out. Tried different ones, but the last ones I got at walmart worked the best and were cheap.
If you have a composition shingle roof you will also need to rinse out the gutters annually to flush out the gravel that comes off the shingles and lands in the gutters.

Answer 3

First would be undersized depth for the amount of roof. This causes overflow when raining. If it is sections of gutter, as opposed to seamless, the joints can leak and cause dripping. If the gutters are not pitched properly, they will fill up faster and cause overflowing or backing up.

Answer 4

rotting don't use galvanized under any circumstances, pull away they have new long screws & hangers to secure them as opposede th the old long nails ( if you have hardie plank with out a sub facia ( 2 x 6 - under facia ) I would give it very close scroutany! over hanging trees... no mater what size they will clogg, the gutter helment works, but throus all the trash & some water onto the area below ( ie - patio ). plus other stuff already mentioned!

Answer 5

Incorrect fitment - fitted straight instead of at slight incline towards drain pipe or fitted with incline facing AWAY from drain pipe
Faulty Joint Seals
Full of debris - trees leaves - dirt etc

Other than that - not much else can go wrong with them
