Clogged gutters are ineffective at removing excess water from the roof during heavy rainfall. To prevent this problem, your gutters must receive regular cleaning and maintenance from roofing repairs specialists.
Leaves fall into gutters and cause clogging as they accumulate. Reduce falling leaves by pruning away overhanging branches and using leaf guards to prevent their entry into the system. If nearby tree limbs are too thick and wide, ask a professional to trim or cut them off.
Gutters contain moisture and debris that encourage the growth of weed seeds. Regular cleaning ensures that the seamless gutters won’t be a conducive environment for weeds to grow since water, leaves and debris are routinely removed.

Leaves and debris contain materials that can create black slime that will block your gutters and downspouts. Have regular gutter maintenance and cleaning to clear muck from your gutter system.
Inadequate attic ventilation and insulation will cause ice dams to form on your roof. Melted snow or ice can drain into your gutters and clog the system when it refreezes there. Improve your attic ventilation and insulation to prevent ice dams and clogged gutters.
Incorrectly designed downspouts could trap debris and cause water to back up to your roof and overflow on the sides of your home. A roofing or gutter professional can locate and clear the blockage in the downspout.
