Repair or replacement?
Use visible warning signs as a starting point for a professional review.
Start with the condition
An isolated seam leak or loose hanger may be a repair discussion. Sagging, recurring overflow, corrosion, storm damage or fascia concerns may call for a broader review.
Ask for a clear explanation
Ask which sections are affected, whether pitch or discharge is part of the problem and what repair would address. The Repair or Replace Check helps organize visible conditions without diagnosing them.
