Gutter Problems We See Most in Woonsocket
Woonsocket buildings put a lot of roof over very few downspouts. A three story multi family collects an enormous volume, and the original outlet count rarely reflects that.
The fascia is the other half. Mill era boards have carried gutters for a century, and after that long the wood behind the hangers is often too soft to hold a screw.
Northern winters finish it. Ice forms in a run that cannot drain, adds weight the hangers were never sized for, and pulls the whole gutter away from the building.
