Debris and Drainage Conditions That Affect Gutters
Every home handles a different amount of runoff depending on its immediate surroundings and exposure. When trees overhang a roofline, fallen leaves, small twigs, and windblown organic litter can settle directly into the channels. Even without immediate tree cover, airborne grit, nesting material, and accumulated silt can collect along low-slope sections and restrict water movement toward the downspouts.
