Conditions That Cause Blocked Gutters
Gutters and downspouts collect whatever falls onto the roof line over time. Depending on the surrounding trees, roof pitch, and seasonal winds, drainage channels can become obstructed by different materials.
- Organic debris such as fallen leaves, pine needles, seed pods, and twigs.
- Rooftop grit and granules washed down from weathering shingles.
- Nests, standing water, and decayed matter caught in corners or drop outlets.
