Signs you have Blocked Gutters

You may not know that something small – like a blocked gutter – could have a negative effect on your home. Beware faulty drainage can be a major issue on your entire home.

When your gutters become blocked, water will not drain away from your home. Instead, the water will overflow the side of your gutters, leading to a number of major issues like foundation damage, structural issues, mold and mildew and basement flooding. These issues can be expensive, costing thousands of pounds in damage.

The best way to avoid these issues is to check your gutters

yearly. Here are some signs you could have blocked Gutters.

1. You Spot Bird or insects at the edge of your Roof

If you notice birds or insects around your gutters, this can be

a sign your gutters are blocked. Birds find gutters to be a good place to build a nest.

2. Water Overflowing the Gutter

An obstruction can force water to overflow the gutter, causing expensive water damage. If you notice your basement flooding during a heavy rain, it’s likely to be in because water is spilling overflowing from the gutters!

3. Drooping Gutters

Drooping gutters are a sign that your gutters are clogged. The

weight of the debris, leaves, broken slate or tiles can cause your gutters to sag. Unfortunately, your gutters will be ineffective at carrying water away from your home and may come apart or even fall off .

4. Staining of brickwork or render

Any signs of staining on the exterior of your home can be a sign of standing water in your gutter system. Rain water that is stagnant can also end up causing costly damage to the fascia boards behind the gutter.

5. Plant Growing in your Gutter

If you look up and notice a garden in your gutter this is an

obvious sign of blocked gutters. Seeds can accumulate in your gutters and along with dirt and debris, a gutter garden can form! Plant growth is a glaring sign

that your gutters need clearing and cleaning
