Eavestrough Replacement
New eavestrough that actually carries the water away
When your eavestrough is sagging, leaking at the seams or dumping water at the foundation, a patch only buys time. We replace tired or undersized troughs with seamless aluminum eavestrough, formed on site and pitched to move water where it belongs. It starts with a free in-home assessment and an honest recommendation.

Signs you need new eavestrough, not just a repair
A few problems can be fixed with a fastener, a bracket or a bead of sealant. But once a trough is worn out or wrongly sized, repairs keep failing. Watch for these signs:
Sagging or pulling away
If sections sag in the middle or pull off the fascia, the hangers and the wood behind them are usually past their useful life. Re-screwing it rarely holds for long.
Leaking and separating seams
Sectional eavestrough is joined every few feet, and those joints are where leaks start. If the seams drip, gap or have been resealed more than once, replacement is the lasting fix.
Overflowing in normal rain
Water sheeting over the front edge means the trough is undersized, badly pitched or so clogged that it cannot keep up. Overflow runs straight down your siding and foundation.
Rust, cracks and splits
Old steel troughs rust through and older systems crack at the bends. Once metal is failing in more than one spot, patching it piece by piece stops being worth the effort and a full replacement is the lasting fix.
Water marks on the fascia
Stains, peeling paint or soft spots on the fascia board mean water has been getting behind the trough. That is a sign the system, and sometimes the wood, needs to be addressed together.
Pooling at the foundation
Puddles, eroded soil or damp at the base of the wall mean the eavestrough is not carrying water away. Left alone, that is how water finds its way toward your basement.
If you are seeing any of these, the smart next step is a look in person. Our free in-home assessment tells you whether a repair will hold or whether replacement is the better value.
Seamless aluminum eavestrough, formed on site
Most older homes have sectional eavestrough, cut from short pieces and joined together along each run. Every joint is a place that can leak, separate or collect debris over time.
Why seamless beats sectional
Seamless eavestrough is rolled from a single continuous length of aluminum, so the only joints are at the corners and the downspout outlets. Fewer seams means fewer leaks, less maintenance and a cleaner line along your roof. We bring a forming machine to your home and shape each run to the exact length of your roofline, so there are no unnecessary joins in the middle.
5 inch or 6 inch
A standard 5 inch trough handles the runoff on most homes. A 6 inch trough, paired with larger downspouts, moves a lot more water and makes sense for big roof areas, steep pitches that shed water fast, valleys that funnel runoff to one spot, or regions that see heavy rain. During the assessment we look at your roof size and pitch and recommend the size that will not overflow, rather than guessing.
Pitch, downspouts, and keeping water off your foundation
The whole point of an eavestrough is simple. It catches the water coming off your roof and carries it well away from the house. Getting that right is mostly about pitch and downspout placement, not just the trough itself.
Correct pitch
Every run needs a slight, consistent slope toward a downspout so water keeps moving instead of standing in the trough. Too little slope and it pools. Too much and it looks crooked and can overshoot. We set the pitch carefully on each run.
Smart downspout placement
Downspouts go where the water naturally collects, sized so they can drain a heavy rain without backing up. We position outlets to balance the load along your roofline so no single run gets overwhelmed.
Routing water away
Discharge that dumps right at the wall defeats the purpose. We aim downspouts and extensions to release water away from the foundation, so it drains off instead of pooling against the house.
Repair or replace, an honest answer
Not every home needs a full replacement, and we will tell you when a targeted repair is the right call. The free in-home assessment is where we figure that out together. We look at the condition of your eavestrough, fascia, soffit and downspouts, explain what we are seeing in plain language, and give you a real quote based on your actual home. We do not quote prices over the phone or online, because every roofline is different and an honest number needs a real look. While we are there, ask about LeafFilter gutter protection to keep your new eavestrough clear, and about fascia repair if the wood behind the trough has taken on water.
