Why is there standing water in my gutter? This is a question that we have been asked a time or two. When a downspout gets clogged, the water sitting in the gutter has nowhere to go.
When it rains out and your gutters are full, it is like not having gutters in the first place. Water is then not moved away from your home. It can lead to a lot of damage. We just did a video on why homes have gutters to begin with, and it explains just how much water your roof collects while it is raining out, and just how much gutters protect homes.
Downspouts get clogged from debris which naturally lands in your gutter. Sticks, leaves, pine needles are notorious for clogging downspouts. Regular cleaning, or a gutter guard will help keep downspouts free from debris.
