Your leak is a gutter problem if there is a clear issue with an element of the gutter system or definite water coming from the gutters end caps downspout or gutter seams etc. If the gutter is clogged some of that water will back up on the roof soaking it. My gutters are leaking from behind. Damage to the roof and fascia.

For gutters to work properly they must be properly sloped toward the downspouts and the roof must have a drip edge that clears the sides of the gutters closest to the house. If the leak is flowing water into your home through the ceiling and this area of water leakage is not near the eaves of your roof or your gutter system this is more. Prepare the gutter by scraping out as much old tar or caulk as possible. Lately whenever it rains water drips out of my house s gutters and onto the patio instead of out the downspout.

And it doesn t stop there. When water drips between the fascia and the gutters the problem could be a compromised drip edge but it s also possible the gutters are overflowing. Is this something i can fix myself or do i need to replace my leaking gutters. Unfortunately it doesn t always work that way.

Gutter leaks usually start at rusty spots or seams that have opened up because of expansion and contraction.
