The header is a little wet, but (at least to the touch) it has gotten much better. The first guy that did an estimate had some kind of moisture tester and it seemed to be better than when we pulled everything out.
We took the end cap off of the gutter to help the water drain since there was so much ice in the gutter.
I told my father-n-law that I wanted to replace that gutter anyway. I don't think it has the proper pitch and the water doesn't move toward the downspout like it's supposed to. There is a hole that was filled with a bolt and some caulking and this is the same gutter that caused the basement problems in the past. I'd be happy to rip the stupid thing down.
