Damage Caused by Clogged Gutters

Gutters are responsible for capturing and redirecting rainwater away from your property. However, they often catch more than just water. Leaves, twigs, dirt, and debris often are caught in gutters as well. You may think that they are just carried away by the water, but they often are not. This is because of several reasons: traditional gutters have seams that debris can get stuck in, large or oddly shaped debris can get stuck at a weird angle, and debris gets trapped by already trapped debris. When gutters get clogged, it may not look like a big deal with a little water spilling over the sides when it rains, but it is.

When water overflows because of a clogged gutter, it will fall toward your property’s foundation. This will slowly erode your foundation over time which could lead to structural concerns and costly repairs. Clogged gutters can also trap water on the roof which can lead to mold, rot, and ice dams. These can cause significant roof damage and cost you money in repairs.

At Doyle Walker Seamless Gutters Company Inc., we provide seamless gutters and gutter guards to the Fayetteville, NC area. Seamless gutters are gutters that are made from one piece of metal. This means there are no seams for debris to get trapped in and cause clogs. They are also more durable than traditional gutters and less prone to leaks. Gutter guards are filters that go over your gutters which allow water to pass through but not debris such as leaves and twigs. This helps prevent these items from getting into the gutter and causing clogs. Utilizing both seamless gutters and gutter covers is your best method for preventing damaging clogs.
