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: Are there alternatives to a gutter system?

• <div><p>Yes, you can opt to use one of these gutter system alternatives. The most traditional alternative is rain chains, which are literally heavy chains dangling from your roof&rsquo;s edge to divert rainwater. A rain dispersal system may also come in handy as it breaks up the water on your roof. Most gutters already come with a dripedge to help direct water into gutters. However, we recommend installing a full gutter system to protect your home and use alternative methods as additional protection.</p></div>

Q: Why is rain dripping between the gutter and fascia?

• <div><p>Water should not be dripping behind your gutters. Rain dripping between your gutters and the fascia might indicate that the gutters are misaligned with the fascia board or there are loose screws in the gutters, allowing water to pass through. Start by checking for these issues and make repairs ASAP.</p></div>

Q: Does the wrong gutter gauge affect gutter sagging?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/gutter-thickness.htm">gutter gauge</a> is a measurement of the thickness of the gutter material. If you have gutters that are too thick and heavy for the screws and brackets holding them in place, they may sag. Materials that are too thin could suffer damage that leads to sagging. A professional gutter installer can ensure you have the right gutter gauge. </p></div>

Q: What is the most common gutter size?

• <div><p>The standard size for residential gutters is 5 inches. Some houses opt for 6-inch gutters to stand against heavy rain since they can hold significantly more water. Five-inch gutters are 3.5 inches deep, and 6-inch gutters are 3.75 inches deep. If you have an all-tile or all-metal roof, you&rsquo;ll need at least 6-inch-wide gutters. </p></div>
