Hail, heavy rain and your gutters
NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 44 hail reports within 10 miles of New Braunfels from 2015 through 2024, including 8 at 1.75 inches or larger. The largest was 2 inches, on March 23, 2021. Hail that size dents aluminum and steel gutters, bends downspouts and loosens hangers.
A dented gutter does not drain the way it should. Water pools in the low spots, leaves collect, and the extra weight pulls the run away from the fascia. During the next downpour, water spills over the edge and soaks the wood behind it.
Hail also strips granules from shingles, and those granules wash into the gutters. A heavy layer of grit after a storm is a sign the roof should be checked, not just the gutters. Read what to do after a hailstorm damages your roof.
Check your gutters for these
Overflow at corners during heavy rain.
Dents left by hail along the front face.
Runs that sag or pull away from the house.
Drips from seams, end caps and outlets.
Peeling paint or dark stains on the fascia.
Washed-out soil where downspouts end.
Gaps where the gutter meets the fascia, letting water run behind it.
Choosing gutters
Size
Larger gutters and downspouts handle more water on wide roof slopes.
Seamless or sectional
Seamless runs have fewer joints. Sectional pieces are easier to swap one at a time.
Downspout placement
More downspouts on long runs keep water from backing up at the corners.
Guards
Leaf guards and screens are available on the market and cut down on cleaning, though they still need occasional checks.
What local homes tell us
Half of the homes in New Braunfels were built before 2006 (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024). Many still have their first set of gutters, now about 20 years old and through several hail seasons. Seams dry out, hangers loosen, and the slope can drift so water sits in the middle of a run.
About 65 percent of occupied homes here are owner-occupied (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024), so most households handle gutter upkeep themselves. Cleaning twice a year and a look after each storm go a long way.
Our approach
Inspect the roof edge
Fascia, drip edge and the first row of shingles are checked before new gutters go up.
Plan the drainage
Gutter size and downspout count are matched to the roof.
Install with a steady slope
Water flows to the outlets instead of standing in the run.
Free estimate first
You see the scope in writing before work begins.
Direct the water away
Downspouts end far enough from the slab and walkways that water drains into the yard instead of pooling.
Gutters and roof work together
If hail dented your gutters, the roof likely took hits too. See hail damage repair in New Braunfels. Planning a new roof?

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my gutters overflow even when they are clean?
They may be too small for the area of roof draining into them, have too few downspouts, or have lost their slope. Dents from hail can also create low spots that hold water. A check of size, slope and outlets usually finds the cause.
Can gutters cause roof leaks?
Yes, indirectly. When water backs up in a clogged or sagging gutter, it can soak the fascia and seep under the first row of shingles into the decking. The leak shows up near exterior walls and is often mistaken for a roof problem higher up.
Should I replace gutters after a hailstorm?
Only if the damage affects how they drain or they are pulling loose. Cosmetic dents can stay. Take dated photos either way, since dented gutters help show hail size, and have the roof checked because gutters and shingles usually take the same storm.
