WHAT’S THE WATER DOING?
Why are my gutters overflowing?
Overflow can follow blocked outlets, debris, damaged gutter sections or a layout that cannot manage the runoff. Observe from ground level and arrange safe access for inspection. Consider where the downspout sends the water too.
What to look for.
- Does overflow occur along the gutter or at the outlet?
- Are joints, fasteners or downspouts damaged?
- Does discharged water run back toward the foundation?
Observe only from a safe place. Do not touch electrical equipment in wet areas or climb onto a wet roof.
