5 COMMON CAUSES OF CLOGGED GUTTERS

Clogged gutters can lead to a variety of issues for homeowners.

Here are five common factors that can lead to your gutter system becoming clogged over time.

  1. Leaves and Debris

    Fallen leaves, twigs and other debris, such as twigs and dirt, can easily accumulate in your gutters, blocking the flow of water.

  2. Broken Gutters

    Cracks or holes in gutters can cause blockages.

  3. Nesting Animals

    Birds and small animals may choose to make nests in your gutters, which can obstruct water flow and create blockages.

  4. Roof Shingle Granules

    The gradual wear and tear of roof shingles can produce granules that wash down and settle in the gutters, leading to clogs.

  5. Improper Installation and Gutter Pitch

    If your gutters are not properly installed and properly pitched, water may not drain effectively, which can encourage debris accumulation and create blockages.

Regular cleaning and maintenance is essential to prevent these issues and to ensure that your gutter system is working properly.
