Conditions That Cause Gutter Clogs
Blockages develop over time from various common property conditions:
- Windblown dust, grit, and broken leaves settling along horizontal gutter runs.
- Organic matter lodging across downspout outlets and restricting water movement.
- Nesting materials or pests collecting in quiet corners of the drainage system.
- Gradual silt buildup that impedes normal water flow toward drop outlets.
