4 Signs Your Gutters Are Clogged

Rain gutters provide important protection for your home. When your gutters start to sag or get clogged, you put your home's roof, foundation, and walls at risk.

If you haven’t invested in high-quality gutter covers, you’ll need to clean out your gutters, and ensure that debris isn’t causing any blockages. How often do you need to clean your gutters? It will depend on where you live, but generally it’s advised that you clean out your gutters at least twice a year.

Wondering if it’s time to get your gutters cleaned? Here are four signs it’s time to get on a ladder and do some cleaning (or call the professionals).

Water Is Spilling Over The Sides Of Your Gutters

Rain gutters are designed to direct rain and snowfall to a specific drainage location, but when your gutters are clogged, that excess water can start spilling over the sides. This could cause basement flooding, and turn into a costly repair job.

Gutter Channels Start Sagging

If you have too much access debris in your gutters, they’ll get too heavy, and start to sag. Things like dirt, sticks, and leaves can build up and wreak havoc on your drainage.

You Notice Birds & Pests On Your Gutters

Decaying leaves and debris can provide a warm and safe nesting spot for birds and inspects. If you notice wildlife frequently hanging out on your rain gutters, it means that it’s likely time to clean your gutters, and you’ll want to address this promptly so you don’t face a pest infestation.
