Fall and re-hanging
A long run holding water has usually lost its fall or its hangers. Re-pitching and re-fixing is cheaper than replacing and is often the right answer.
Big roofs, long slopes and a lot of tree cover · (609) 474-9238
Repair, re-hanging and replacement on long runs that fill with pine and oak litter faster than almost anywhere else in the county.
Ask about the gutter line — (609) 474-9238A long gutter run under oak and pine packs solid in a season. Once it does, water goes over the front and behind the back, the fascia stays wet, and the hangers start pulling out of timber that is no longer sound.

The places that leak quietly for years, visible mainly as a green stripe down the wall beneath them.
Enough downspouts for a roof this size, and extensions taking the water properly clear of the foundation rather than onto the path.
Where a run has been hanging off wet timber, the fascia is dealt with at the same time rather than new gutter being screwed to soft wood.
Granules in the trough say how far the covering has worn. Water behind the gutter says the drip edge is wrong or missing. And a run that packs solid every autumn says something about which trees are closest to the house, which is worth knowing before the next storm rather than after it.
