Dripping from gutter near inside corners
Our two story house is about 15 years old. The roof has been replaced once. It is our outstanding that when the roof was replaced the drip edge was incorrectly installed. Over time two inside corners of the gutter began dripping during and after rain. The gutters are clean. Within the last year the gutter corner joints were resealed plus new drip edge was installed around the entire roof. After all this work rain water still drips from very near the two gutter corners during and after rain. To best illustrate the problem several photos are attached. The two gutter corners have identical problems.
All help appreciated.

There is no way to know what needs to be done without getting up there to look at it. Do you have a handyman that you trust? or maybe call the previous repairman and tell him the fix didn't work.

I'd be more inclined to think it's an issue with the over hang of the shingles and the waters leaking behind the gutters.

The previous repair company is sending a man out next Thursday.

Doesn't the drip edge handle water moving off the shingle? Please help me better understand.

The shingles should slightly hang over the edge of the drip edge. Either the gutter is leaking or water is getting behind the gutter, no way to tell without getting up there to see. Hopefully the repairman will get it right this time - he'll most likely look harder for the issue since their repair didn't work last time.

If there's gutters I overhang the shingles by up to 1".
If the gutters where not installed so they went up under the drip edge all the drip edge is do is protecting the ends of the sheathing and keeping it from getting down the back side of the fascia.
