Conditions That Cause Clogged Gutters
Water movement slows down whenever foreign material enters the drainage channel. When overhead branches drop organic material onto the roof, natural runoff pushes that debris directly into horizontal channels, creating blockages over time.
- Fallen leaves and small twigs gathering in gutter corners and bends
- Granules washing off aging shingles and accumulating along lower runs
- Windblown seeds, seed pods, and organic matter settling in corners
- Silt and decomposing material that creates heavy, damp blockages
