Gutter rust is a common problem that most homeowners have faced at some point. There are several reasons why it happens, ranging from pollen buildup and galvanic corrosion to thermal fluctuations and poor gutter maintenance. Rust can compromise your gutters’ draining performance, but is there actually something you can do to fix this particular issue?
It would be much better to stop gutter rust from developing in the first place. Regular gutter cleaning, proper maintenance and gutter cover installation can all make a huge and positive difference to your gutters’ condition and performance. But since it already happened, the only thing left is to try and fix it. And it actually is possible to fix rusty gutters. First, remove the surface rust from the gutters using sand paper or a wire brush. Then, coat the sanded-off sections with a good, waterproof primer to seal them.
Of course, that only works if rust has affected only a small area of your gutters. If the corrosion has already spread throughout the system and has, in fact, created holes, then that’s a different story. As a temporary solution, you can have those damaged sections removed and replaced with new ones until you can schedule a complete replacement from the trusted gutter and roofing company in the area: American Roofing & Construction, LLC.
