The most common problem with gutters is clogging from debris like leaves, blossoms, and seeds from surrounding trees. This debris can block downspouts, leading to improper drainage and water overflow.

Other common issues include:

• Leaks and holes, which can often be repaired with gutter sealant or caulk.

• Rust, sagging, or detachment from the roofline.

• Damage from strong storms.

• Improperly pitched gutters that don't drain correctly.

Regular cleaning in the spring and fall is the best way to prevent most of these problems. You may need to clean them more often during periods of heavy leaf fall.
