Understanding Clog Conditions on Your Property
Gutter problems generally fall into two categories: isolated outlet obstructions or extended debris along the trough. An outlet blockage occurs when leaves or twigs lodge directly over the drop into the downspout, causing water to back up quickly even if the rest of the run is relatively clear. In contrast, debris buildup along the entire gutter run creates gradual dams that trap standing water and lead to spilling over the front edges during rain.
