Common Gutter Clog and Drainage Conditions
Roof runoff carries a range of materials that can settle inside gutter channels over time. Understanding what accumulates helps determine the appropriate scope of work for your home.
- Deciduous leaves, pine needles, and small twigs shed from nearby trees onto roof valleys.
- Granules washing off aging asphalt shingles that collect in low troughs.
- Windblown dust, pollen, and organic compost that form heavy silt layers along bottom seams.
- Bird nests, seed pods, and decomposing matter that restrict water movement toward outlets.
