Did you know that Westmont clogged gutters are one of the most common causes of severe plumbing problems? Many people don’t realize that major plumbing issues often arise from something as simple as a blocked gutter. But how, exactly, does this happen?
Common Causes of Westmont Clogged Gutters
Before we discuss the process, let’s first examine the most common causes of blocked gutters. Although you can find, well, just about anything at all in your business’s gutter, usual suspects often include any combination of the following:
- Mud
- Sticks
- Leaves
- Rocks
- Paper
- Plastic bags
- Garbage
- Moss
Once this build up gets out of control, it’s only a matter of time until problems start. The blocked gutter can create of pool of water that will eat away at your shingles or fascia, and eventually overflow and begin damaging your building’s foundation. Before you know it, you have a small crack that grows into a huge leak, leaving you with a basement full of murky, sitting water.

How Westmont Clogged Gutters Can Damage Your Property
Because clogs prevent water from draining, there’s a lot of damage that can result from leftover debris. Leaves, sticks and ice jams can wreak havoc on your gutters, leaving them busted, broken, and rusty. Clogged gutters can also damage your landscape as the overflow washes away mulch, flowers, and more. Gutters are often held together by boards made of wood which can rot when overexposed to sitting water. And worst of all, water overflow can cause serious damage to your property’s foundation because it’s not be redirected properly.
