No Gutter Spikes On My Gutters

They do the job all right but eventually the spikes work themselves loose.

No gutter spikes on my gutters.

One main tip to replace the spikes is to simply remove it accordingly one by one and not in a hurry. First of all the first thing you need to do is to remove all the outdated and defective gutter ferrules or spikes. To replace gutter spikes with screws simply remove the old gutter spike and insert the screw through the existing hole in the front of the gutter. They are also the easiest thing to fix.

One way to make sure your gutter doesn t fall off the house is to install fascia hanger brackets. If your gutters are fastened with spikes and some spikes are loose or rusted simply hammering the spike back in isn t likely to solve the problem as the spike will tend to work its way back. Replacing them with steel gutter screws and rigid plastic ferrules provides a more secure alternative and will prevent them from pulling loose or sagging. Just because your gutters have loose gutter spikes does not mean you need to replace your gutters.

Loose gutter spikes are the most common issue homeowners have with their gutters. Years ago spikes and ferrules were a common method for hanging gutters. Pounding them back in is a temporary fix at best.
