In order to be effective, gutters and downspouts must be clear of debris. They must also be properly pitched, or angled, toward the downspouts to encourage the flow of rainwater. Signs Your Gutters Aren’t Working Clogged If you spot debris piling in your gutters, water stains running down your siding, or your gutters pulling away from the fascia, you likely have clogged gutters. Improperly Pitched If water sits stagnant in your gutters, they lay too flat. If the water overshoots the gutters completely, they’re angled too steeply to hold water. Leaking If you spot water dripping from your gutter system, you may have leaky gutter joints or holes from wear and tear. Sagging If your gutters appear to be sagging, they’re likely pulling away from your soffit and fascia. This can be caused by the heavy weight of debris, or too few gutter hangers. The Damages of Clogged Gutters When water is not diverted properly through your gutters and away from your home, it can have serious, far-reaching consequences. Clogged gutters can impact your entire home resulting in serious damages like: Rotting Fascia & Soffit Heaving Driveway Mold & Mildew Growth Basement Flooding Landscape Erosion Foundation Issues Insects & Pest Infestation Roof Damage Why Gutter Cleaning Isn’t Enough Let’s face it – gutter cleaning is a dirty, time-consuming task that no one likes to do. Unfortunately, whether you decide to clean the gutters yourself or hire a professional to clean them for you, your gutter system will still continue to accumulate debris between cleanings.
