Conditions That Contribute to Clogged Gutters
Gutters accumulate debris over time depending on the unique surroundings of each property. Several factors commonly contribute to restricted drainage:
- Falling leaves, twigs, seeds, and organic matter from nearby trees.
- Granules washing down from older asphalt shingle roofing.
- Windblown dust, dirt, and decaying plant material settling in troughs.
- Nesting activity or organic residues trapped near downspout openings.
