Now that the weather has gotten a bit more civilized in my area of the U.S., I went on the roof to do a few seasonal fixes, among which was tightening the pins/spikes that hold the gutter in place.
I noticed that the gutter on the front of the house (about 50'/15m long) has standing water in the center 20'/5m or so (about 3/4"/1cm at deepest point). Anyone have any reasonable solutions as to how to raise the center so that water drains and doesn't lay there?
I've seen in old discussions here advice about pulling the gutter and remounting it, but I don't see how that's feasible. We're talking about moving a gutter less than the diameter of the nail/pin that holds it in place, and it's not like one can just move the nail/pin to the left or right, yes?
Putting the downspout at the low point is right out, as the low spot is right over the front door.
I haven't seen anyone post results of filling the low space with some sort of lightweight solid that would raise the "floor" of the gutter to make it drain.
Any thoughts?
