Why do my gutters overflow in heavy rain?

• <div><p>Gutters overflow in heavy rain for several reasons. The main reasons <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-causes-overflowing-rain-gutters.htm">why your gutters could be overflowing</a> in heavy rain include:</p><ul><li><p>Not enough downspouts to effectively remove water from your gutters</p></li><li><p>Too small of a gutter width—the average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/standard-gutter-sizes.htm">gutter size</a> is four to six inches</p></li><li><p>Clogged gutters</p></li><li><p>Incorrect slope</p></li></ul><p>If you believe your gutters were installed incorrectly, it’s a good idea to know <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/gutter-leaking-who-to-call.htm">who to call for gutter leaks</a>.

Q: Who do I contact to get gutters installed or replaced?

• <div><p>Hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/gutter-installation">gutter installation professional</a> to install or replace your gutters. If you&rsquo;re not sure where to begin your research, contact your roofing contractor. Most of them either have an in-house gutter technician or can provide trustworthy referrals to licensed gutter contractors. If you&rsquo;re installing a specific type of gutter, such as fascia-style or seamless gutters, make sure the person you hire has experience in the specific installation.</p></div>

Q: Do icicles mean bad gutters?

• <div><p>Icicles don&rsquo;t necessarily mean that your gutters are bad. However, they do cause major issues for your gutters. For example, the weight of the ice in your gutters can rip them off the house completely.</p></div>

Q: Should gutters and downspouts be the same size?

• <div><p>When connecting a gutter to a downspout, make sure that both have the same outlet capacity. Meaning starting from your gutter and moving downwards, the diameter should match so you have a secure seal. Make sure you&rsquo;re working downwards when attaching the pipes (for example, the gutter fits inside the downspout) as doing the reverse will cause leaks. </p></div>

Q: Should you hang Christmas lights on gutters or shingles?

• <div><p>You can choose to hang Christmas lights on either gutters or shingles&mdash;either option is fine. If you have gutter covers, shingles may be your only option. But, all-in-one clips are designed for both applications.</p></div>

The two guys were very fast, efficient and cleaned up all of the mess. There was damage to one window screen, one panel of the patio door and missing part for the door which they are replacing and taking care of it for us. We were very pleased.

Tom arrived to do an estimate when he said he would and he was polite and professional. He made it clear that he might not get to my job for weeks because of a backlog of work. I was fine with that. He didn't give me a specific date when the tree would be cut down. In fact, he just showed up one...
