Evaluating Drainage Runoffs and Clog Conditions
Drainage issues typically stem from specific points of obstruction within the gutter system. Understanding where runoff fails helps identify the necessary scope during an evaluation.
- Outlet clogs occur when leaves, needles, or roof silt settle over the downspout opening, causing water to pool and spill over adjacent gutter edges.
- Run overflows happen along horizontal channels when accumulated debris beds or uneven gutter slopes prevent water from traveling toward the downspouts.
