Lawn Maintenance
Why are my gutters overflowing when it rains?
What’s likely going on
Leaves, twigs, and debris build up inside gutters over a season and block water from flowing to the downspout — and overflowing gutters aren't just a nuisance, the water can end up pooling right next to your foundation instead of away from it.
Is this a DIY job or worth calling someone?
Worth addressing before it becomes a foundation or basement moisture issue rather than after. Clearing debris from ground level with the right tools is possible for some homes, but gutter work often means a ladder at height, which is exactly the kind of job worth having someone else take the risk on.
Not sure, or ready to have someone take care of it?
