Fixing Leaky Box Gutters

| Posted in General Discussion on

*
I have a 90+ year old house. The box gutters have been leaking for a while. How do I fix these? I need suggestions for the “right” way to do it and the way the gets it fixed for a while (5-10 yrs.). As I am not sure how long I will have this house. Money may be an issue also.

Also, the downspouts have rusted away from the gutters.

Thanks
