Rain gutters divert water away from your home’s roof and foundation to prevent moisture damage to your interior and exterior. When they become clogged, water can get backed up on the roof, causing dry rot and leaks. If you notice these warning signs your gutters are clogged, you can hire an experienced roofing company for gutter installation and maintenance.

How to Know If Your Gutters Have Blockages

1. The Gutters Are Sagging

Visually inspect your roof from the ground. Gutters usually experience sagging or complete detachment from the roof if they get weighed down by too much water. Sometimes heavy debris, such tree limbs and built-up leaves, pile up and block water from passing through, adding to the weight that the gutters experience and causing them to come loose.

2. You Notice Pests

Pests such as mice, squirrels, snakes, and frogs can turn your home’s gutters into a nesting area. While doing so, the debris they leave behind can create a blockage. The standing water that develops, as a result, can also attract mosquitoes to your property. It’s best to have a roofing company repair the gutters before more unwanted pests discover the loosed gutters and move in.

3. The Siding Is Stained

Rainwater can leak from both sides until your damaged gutters are found. The result is often water stains on the siding. Look for stains that indicate trails of water, mold or mildew, or green streaks down the siding.
