What flat part??? Not sure about this set up you have, but flashing is mandatory.

Water between gutter and fascia...

H

hikerguy on Aug 27, 2010

Hope someone can help with this. Every time it rains really hard, there's one section of gutter (maybe 3' in length) where the water just comes down in sheets. It appears to be coming down between the gutter and fascia, but for the life of me, I can't see how. I got up on a ladder the past weekend and verified the gutter is not clogged up. The roofing shingles appear to over hang the gutter enough, and I even took a hose and got water streaming down the roof to try and duplicate, but never could. The odd thing is the front of the gutter is lower than the back side (that attaches to the fascia), so even if the gutter was "overloaded", I would think the water would spill over the front part and not the back. The bad part is we noticed some water in the window sill (actually, it was under a metal strip the window sets on), and a small piece of the window frame near the sill (the drywall section) was damp. Any ideas what is going on and how to correct? Thanks, AndyRead More
