Why Does My Gutter Overflow When It Rains?

Blocked outlet or downpipe

Leaves, moss and debris can restrict the route into the downpipe and cause water to spill over the front or back of the gutter.

Leaking joints

Seals and joints can deteriorate or move. Water at a joint may need a repair or replacement component rather than simply applying sealant.

Incorrect fall or movement

A gutter needs to direct water towards its outlet. If brackets move or the run sags, water can collect in the wrong place.

Why it matters

Repeated overflow can saturate walls, fascia boards and the area around the roof edge. Sorting the rainwater system early can prevent secondary damage.
