We have this gutter run that is about 40 feet long along one side of our home. Over the past few years it has developed a sag (probably due to ice dams) that cause it to fill up and overflow during heavy rains. And even when it’s not raining, water obviously sits up there stagnant.
I was worried about what it would cost to get this run re-graded. A guy came to look at it and said that it would be much simpler to simple add a new leader (downspout) at the low point. That totally made sense to me, so we gave him the green light to make it happen. It looks and works perfectly now.
Total cost $127!

Do you guys have any information/opinions of the foam gutter-filler systems? That’s the kind my contractor is recommending, but he admits he doesn’t have any long-term experience with them. I couldn’t find any mention on this site. This would be in Los Angeles, so freezing/icedams aren’t an issue.
