How can I tell if my gutter is leaking?

Question

Hi! I’d just like to know, how can I tell exactly where a leak is in my guttering if I suspect there is one? Is it easy and okay to fix it myself?

Daniel · Accepted Answer

The leak is more than likely where two length of guttering join together or where the guttering meets the downpipe. I wouldn’t recommend fixing this yourself as it involves working at height which could be dangerous if not done safely.

Hi there me personally I use food due to colour the liquid to source any/if any leaks and yes easy DIY fix

Tom · Answer

You would. see if it was leaking and if so it may be on the joints where there is a seal which has most probably perished you could fix if you were OK with heights and had a long enough ladder

Always seek professional advice as works can be dangerous. This could be a simple build up of leaves. Distorted gutters or loose connections. Recommend professional advice.
