What clogged gutters cause
- Water spilling against the foundation — wet basements.
- Rotting fascia and soffits.
- Ice dams in winter — see ice dam prevention.
- Stained or peeling siding.
Signs
- Water pouring over the gutter edge in rain
- Plants growing in gutters
- Sagging sections
- Erosion or pooling under downspouts
- Basement dampness on one side of the house
Maintenance
- Clean gutters in late fall after leaves drop, and again in spring.
- Extend downspouts several feet from the foundation.
- Check slope so water flows to the downspouts.
- Consider guards if trees hang over the roof.
