Quick answers

Why do gutters start to sag?

Gutters usually sag because hangers loosen or the fascia behind them softens. Ice and packed snow add weight, clogs hold water, and old spike-and-ferrule fasteners work loose over years of freeze and thaw. Rotten fascia has to be fixed before new hangers will hold.

How much slope should a gutter have?

At least 1/16 inch per foot of run toward the downspout, per Building America guidance. Too little slope leaves standing water; a visible drop along a long run is normal and means the gutter is draining.

Can a sagging gutter be fixed or does it need replacing?

Most sagging sections can be fixed by adding or replacing hangers and resetting the pitch. Replacement makes sense when the gutter is split, badly dented or rusted through along much of its length.
