Overflowing gutters can send water down walls or near the foundation. Here are possible reasons, safe things to notice, and when to contact a gutter professional.

Why gutters may overflow

Leaves and other debris may block a gutter or downspout. Gutter damage or poor drainage may also contribute. From the ground, note where water spills during rain and whether you can see water leaving the downspout. Don’t climb a ladder or try to inspect the roof.

When to call a gutter professional

Contact a gutter professional if overflow keeps happening, a gutter appears loose or damaged, water is leaking at a joint, or you notice moisture inside the home. Leave roof and ladder inspections to a qualified professional.

Choose the right service

If debris or a blockage may be affecting drainage, start with Gutter Cleaning. If you also see damage to the roof or gutter system, Roofing may be a better starting point. Check that the company serves your address and handles the work you need.
