Debris and Drainage Conditions That Affect Gutters
Gutter systems collect an assortment of materials over time, depending on the immediate surroundings of the home. Factors that often contribute to flow restrictions include:
- Accumulations of fallen leaves, small twigs, and airborne organic dust settling in troughs.
- Windblown seeds, moss, and pine needles lodging tightly in corners or seams.
- Granules washing down from aging shingles and forming dense silt layers.
- Nests, standing stagnant water, or weed growth thriving in damp channel residue.
