Gutters overflowing in Asheville
Overflowing gutters can have more than one cause. Use these safe checks to decide whether to contact a professional and where to start.
Possible causes and safe observations
Leaves or other debris in the gutter or downspout can restrict drainage. Heavy rain or a drainage problem may also contribute. From the ground, note where water spills over and whether the overflow happens during rain. Check inside for visible signs of moisture near ceilings or walls. Don’t climb a ladder or go onto the roof to inspect or clear gutters.
When to get professional help
Contact a professional if overflow keeps happening, a gutter appears loose or sagging from the ground, or you see water damage inside. If water is entering the home, arrange help promptly. Don’t attempt work that requires roof access or hazardous equipment.
