Distinguishing an Outlet Blockage from Gutter Run Overflow
Water issues along your roofline usually stem from one of two common conditions. You might notice water spilling over a long, straight section of the trough, which often points to accumulated debris slowing the horizontal movement of runoff. Alternatively, water may back up and pool directly above a downspout drop, which typically indicates an outlet blockage where twigs or clumps of leaves have lodged in the opening.
