Hello everyone.

I’m planning some maintenance on my older house and need to disconnect a downspout, but I’m unsure about the proper method. The gutters are original, and I want to avoid causing leaks or structural damage.

I’ve read a few guides, but most seem geared toward newer installations. Can anyone explain the step-by-step process for old homes? I came across this link https://www.solideavestrough.ca/disconnect-downspout-correctly/ and wondered if following it would work for older systems as well.

Any tips, precautions, or tools recommendations would be constructive!
