Why Is There Standing Water In My Gutters?

An integral part of your roofing, your gutters help protect your home against foundation damage, leaks and a host of other problems. Any problem your gutters are experiencing needs to be fixed right away, even if it means calling a local gutter company. Left untreated, minor gutter issues can become major problems—and major problems can cause more damage!

Is there standing water in your gutters? Perhaps you tried checking your downspouts. There’s a chance that you may not have found the problem even after checking—or the problem isn’t with your downspouts.

There are many different things that can cause your gutters to clog, which can lead to standing water. Besides a downspout clog, the source of the problem might be:

• Sticks and twigs
• Leaves
• Small toys
• Tennis or golf balls

If your gutters have standing water, immediate repair is required. A professional may even recommend full replacement. Is there standing water in your gutters? Contact Tidewater Insulators!
