The single most common problem with rain gutters is clogging caused by an accumulation of leaves, pine needles, twigs, shingle grit, and windblown debris. When debris blocks the natural flow of water toward the downspouts, gutters overflow during heavy rainstorms. This overflow can cause water to pool around the foundation, rot fascia boards, stain exterior walls, and form ice dams in freezing weather. Regular bi-annual cleaning or installing quality leaf filters easily prevents this issue.
