How to Fix a Leaky Gutter:

3 Reasons Your Gutters Are Overflowing

In the UK, rain is a fact of life. But when your gutters overflow, it's a sign that something isn't right. Overflowing gutters can lead to serious problems like water damage, foundation issues, and even pest infestations.

But before you panic, consider this: the solution might be simpler than you think. Home Renew can help you solve the mystery of your overflowing gutters and prevent these problems from happening. Here's what could be causing the issue:

Reason 1:

Clogged Gutters: Leaves, twigs, and other debris can build up in your gutters, blocking the flow of water. This is like a traffic jam for rainwater, causing it to back up and spill over the sides.


Reason 2:

Incorrect Gutter Slope: Gutters need a slight downward angle to guide water towards the downspouts. If your gutters are too flat or tilting the wrong way, water can't drain properly and will overflow.


Reason 3:

Undersized Gutters: Sometimes, heavy rainfall can simply overwhelm your gutters. If they're too small or you don't have enough downspouts, water will overflow even with clean, well-pitched gutters.
