The answer to 'my gutter installation is failing' is that there are several common causes, including improper installation, clogging, and damage from weather or debris. Symptoms can include leaks, sagging, or detachment from the roof. Solutions may involve adjusting the gutter, cleaning out debris, or in some cases, completely replacing the gutter system.
If the issues are relatively minor, such as a loose connection or small clog, homeowners may be able to address them through DIY gutter maintenance. However, for more significant problems like structural damage or extensive clogging, it's best to call in a professional roofing or gutter specialist to properly diagnose and fix the problem.
