New Gutters and Gutter Repair for Hurst Homes
A gutter system that overflows or pulls away slowly damages the fascia, the siding and the ground around your foundation. Here is how to tell when yours needs work.

A quick gutter check you can do after rain
Watch during a storm
Look for water spilling over the front edge or pouring from seams and corners.
Check the downspouts
Water should come out strong and land away from the house, not pool by the slab.
Look at the fascia
Peeling paint, dark streaks or soft wood behind the gutter mean water is getting behind it.
Look for dents
After hail, dents and kinks along the front edge can slow the flow and trap debris.
Gutters on older Hurst homes
Half of the homes in Hurst were built before 1975 (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024). On houses that age, the fascia behind the gutters has been through many wet seasons. If an old gutter was ever set too low or allowed to overflow, the wood may already be soft. New gutters hung on rotted boards will pull loose, so the edge has to be repaired first.
Storms add wear. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 182 hail reports within 10 miles of Hurst from 2015 through 2024, and 36 of them were 1.75 inches or larger. Aluminum gutters dent under hail that size. Dented gutters are also a clue the roof above should be checked. See hail damage roof repair in Hurst.
Heavy downpours test gutters as much as hail does. When a hard rain hits, an undersized gutter or a run with too few downspouts overflows at the corners. That water lands next to the slab, washes out soil and splashes the siding. Sizing the system for the roof area above it matters as much as hanging it straight.

Gutters and your roof
Gutters and the roof edge work as one system. A worn drip edge, damaged shingles at the eaves or a clogged valley can all send water where the gutter cannot catch it. If your roof is due for work, plan the gutters with it. Our page on roof replacement in Hurst covers that project, and common causes of roof leaks in Texas homes explains how edge problems turn into leaks.
Upkeep keeps any gutter system working. Clear leaves and debris in spring and fall, check downspout outlets after big storms and look for dents after hail. A clogged outlet can fill a gutter within minutes in a hard rain.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my gutters are the right size?
If they overflow in normal heavy rain even when clean, they are likely too small or have too few downspouts. Roof area, pitch and how many slopes drain into one run all matter. A gutter contractor can measure the roof and suggest size and downspout count.
Can I fix a sagging gutter myself?
Sometimes a loose hanger is an easy fix. But a sag often means the fascia behind it is soft or the gutter is overloaded. Ladder work at the roof edge is risky. If the sag returns or the wood is spongy, have a pro check the edge.
Do hail-dented gutters need to be replaced?
Light dents can be left alone. Deep dents, kinks and bent outlets slow drainage and trap debris, so those sections should be replaced. Take photos of the dents first, since they help document the storm if you discuss roof damage with your insurer.
