This means that if there is a rainstorm, the rain chain can stop working completely. Rain chains also cannot redirect rainwater away from your house. In homes with a sloped yard, this could cause water damage in your foundation or basement. 

Signs that your gutters need to be cleaned include:

• Debris built up in the gutters

• Gutters overflow when it rains

• Water doesn’t flow freely from downspouts

• Gutters leak or there’s visibly damaged

• Evidence of leaking along your roof, siding, yard, or pavement

• Gutters pulled away from roof

• Water damage to soffit and fascia

• Weeds or small trees growing in the gutters

• Pests visible in your gutters

• Leaks in crawl space or basement may indicate overflowing gutters
