Gutter Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Yes, it's possible for gutters to become clogged even after you've installed gutter guards. While gutter guards will drastically reduce the amount of debris that can enter your gutters, small pine needles, seedlings, and algae can still get through. Clogs can also happen if you're not maintaining gutter guards properly. Gutter guards can fail if they are overwhelmed with debris and water. While adding a rain chain gutter or other features can help to move water along, nothing can undo a poor gutter guard design that hasn't been installed by qualified experts.

Hire a gutter installation professional to install or replace your gutters. If you’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’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.

Gutters should be cleaned at least twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, to remove the debris from trees that can clog the eavestroughs and downspouts. Debris like leaves, twigs, and seed pods can build up and cause your gutters to overflow, potentially causing damage to your roof and foundation. Water backing up under the shingles can rot the edge of your roofline. Overflow water falling next to your foundation can end up leaking into your basement or crawl space.

The first rule of knowing how to install gutters 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.

If you’re not interested in digging up your yard, but you still need to direct water away from your house, another option is to extend your downspouts further out into the yard. Two methods to do this are:

  • Adding a splashguard. This is the simplest method. You can purchase a splashguard at your local hardware store and place it under your downspout. This will act as a funnel to direct water away from your house.

  • Add downspout extension at the end. You can also add an additional downspout to the end of the “elbow” as a way to extend the water further out into your yard. Some hardware stores sell downspouts with a flexible extension that you can maneuver around your yard.

The above alternatives are great options if your gutters are above a slab foundation that you wouldn’t want to dig up. One downside to these methods is if your yard slopes back upwards to your home, then the water won’t actually flow away. In which case, burying your downspouts if the best option to avoid flooding and water damage to your home.
