Gap Between Gutter And Fascia Board

The gutters are getting old and i want to replace all.

Gap between gutter and fascia board.

Drive a nail at this spot and then snap a chalk line between the two nails. When it rains water pours through that gap and splashes on the window screens. I don t have gap all around just in some areas. Making the tops of your fascia boards the same angle as the roof allows you to easily place roofing material over them without creating bumps or ridges.

I have gutters all the way around shingles overhang 1 1 5 get good flow to gutters. I have called the contractor and i am waiting for a return call. Subtract 1 32 inch for every 10 feet of gutter and then note down the new total at the bottom end of the gutter run. Surely this is not how it should be.

Gap between gutters and fascia board how easy is this to fix. I can see sky when i stand under the gutter and look straight up. My issue since not on contract and i did not check life lesson. The soffit is the flat panel that covers the underside of the rafters between the back of the fascia and the outside of the house wall.

For gutters to work properly they must be properly sloped toward the downspouts and the roof must have a drip edge that clears the sides of the gutters closest to the house. I have a 30 year old house which i have owned for the last five years. The first rainstorm of the year came yesterday and i noticed a huge amount of water draining behind my gutters in this corner area around the flashing in the first pic. Start at the end of a fascia board and caulk the corner edge where two boards meet.

The fascia is the wide board that s installed on edge and runs horizontally along the edge of the roof. Its top edge is tucked up under the shingles and its outside face is where the gutter is mounted. There is a gap between the gutters and the fascia. Measure the distance from this nail to the bottom of the fascia board.

Upon closer inspection it was obvious that there was a large gap that had developed. Other than being old and rusty they are working fine based on my obser. Smooth the caulk bead with your finger and begin caulking the joint between the fascia board and the soffit. Rip the tops of the fascia boards to match the slope of your roof.

When water drips between the fascia and the gutters the problem could be a compromised drip edge but it s also possible the gutters are overflowing. I recently had roof replaced and did not have drip edge installed.
