Clean it and test it
Once the gutter is cleaned, the next rain can tell us whether the system handles water properly or still has a sizing, pitch or outlet problem.
Gutter Cleaning
Gutter cleaning service for homeowners who need debris removed and gutter function checked.
Clean gutters first when debris is the problem
Overflow does not always mean the gutter system has failed. If debris is packed around the downspout outlet, the gutter can overflow quickly. Cleaning the gutter first helps show whether the system still handles water properly or whether there is another issue.
Check the downspout
A small clog at the outlet or downspout can make the whole gutter overflow even when the rest of the gutter is not the problem.
Watch underground drains
If water backs out of an underground drain, the buried line may be clogged even if the gutter itself is doing its job.
Cleaning helps now. Protection may reduce future clogs.
If your gutters are overflowing because they are dirty, cleaning may be the right first step. If the same areas keep clogging, gutter protection / gutter guards may help reduce how often debris reaches the downspout outlet or underground drain system.
