Factors That Create Gutter Obstructions
Gutters and downspouts accumulate different materials over time depending on the surrounding environment of your property. Common elements that interfere with normal water flow include:
- Decaying tree leaves, needles, twigs, and small seed pods.
- Accumulated roof grit, moss, and windblown organic dust.
- Bird nests, pest debris, and standing sludge that settles in flat gutter sections.
