If Your Gutters Turn Into Waterfalls Every Time It Rains, Pay Attention.
It starts raining.
You look outside and water is pouring over the side of your gutters.
“Wow, it must really be coming down.”
Maybe.
An unusually intense storm can overwhelm a gutter system. But if you notice the same thing repeatedly, it’s worth finding out what else may be contributing.
Your roof and gutters aren't two completely separate systems.
Your roof sheds the rainwater.
Your gutters collect it.
Your downspouts carry it away.
If that path isn't working as intended, water may spill over instead.
Debris, restricted downspouts, gutter slope or positioning, drainage issues, and storm intensity are among the factors that can affect gutter performance.
And repeated overflow can put water around areas you'd rather keep protected, including fascia, siding, landscaping, walkways, and areas near the foundation.
So next time it rains, don't just watch the storm. Watch your house.
Where is the water going?
That simple observation could tell you something worth investigating.
