Homeowner Turns to Gutter Shutter to Solve Leaky Gutters

Problem

A customer was dealing with a leaking gutter in his 1942 bungalow-style house that was completely broken and needed to be replaced. 

Many problems can cause leaky gutters, but clogging is the most common reason.

Some reasons for leaking may include:

• Debris, such as leaves, twigs, shingle granules, pine, dirt, etc., clogging up gutter
• Water clogging up gutter or downspout, leading to water overflow
• Gutter sagging or pulling away
• Loose screws or poor tightening of gutter system
• Punctures, cracks, or holes in gutter system

As a result of clogging issues, water flow is blocked. Proper water flow is necessary to divert rainwater or water buildup away from the house. Water diversion occurs with the use of downspouts, sump pumps, or other diversion systems. If these are clogged, water that’s accumulated cannot properly flow and will ultimately overflow the system, causing further issues such as leaking, structural damage, and more. 

Sagging gutters come from the same issues, as excessive debris or water accumulation in your gutter system will cause them to sag. This will disturb the drainage and waterflow system and cause gutters to overflow. 

Similarly, gutters pull away from the house due to the excessive buildup of debris or water, and too much weight accumulating in the system will cause structural damage to the roof and house. Additionally, it will prevent water from properly draining and flowing away from the house, which can lead to similar issues mentioned above.
