Clogged Gutters
Clogged gutters are the most common gutter problem, especially in Houston where leaves, pine needles, seed pods, and debris accumulate year-round. When gutters clog, water backs up and overflows—defeating the entire purpose of your gutter system. Left unaddressed, clogged gutters cause foundation damage, landscape erosion, and fascia rot.

- Roof shingle granules washing into gutters
- Bird nests and animal debris
- Accumulated dirt and organic matter
