Q: Where should you direct water from the gutters?

• <div><p>The first rule of knowing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-about-how-install-gutters.htm">how to install gutters</a> is that water coming from gutters should be directed 4 feet to 6 feet away from your home. Depending on the specifics of your property, water can be directed to a cistern, municipal drainage ditch, or the street. Water should never be directed toward a neighbor's yard.</p></div>

Q: Is it normal for gutters to overflow in heavy rain?

• <div><p>No&mdash;gutters should be designed and properly installed so they are ready to handle any level of rainflow from your roof. If you notice pooling water around your gutters or on the roof, it&rsquo;s imperative that you contact a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/gutter-repair/">gutter repair pro near you</a>&mdash;the slope of your gutters could be off and need adjusting.</p></div>

Q: Do gutter sizes affect the flow of water to the downspout?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have the right <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/standard-gutter-sizes.htm">gutter sizes</a> installed, the water may not flow properly. Small gutters need a sharper slope to move the water faster before it can overflow. Larger gutters can hold more water if you must use a shallow slope on the length of the gutter. A gutter installer can provide advice on the right gutter size. </p></div>

Q: What is the average lifespan of gutters?

• <div><p>Depending on the quality of the materials and the installation of your home's gutter system, you can expect between 20 and 50 years of service from your gutters. Homeowners who perform, or hire someone to perform, regular maintenance and cleaning of the system will experience the longest lifespan possible from their systems, provided it doesn't sustain damage from storms or other peril.</p></div>
