The recent change to rainy weather might spur you to have your gutter system inspected.  There are several causes of overflowing gutters. It could be that they are clogged, rusted or leaking at the seams. They might also be loose or sloped in a poor direction for drainage. To find out for sure what the problem might be you need to climb up on a ladder to inspect your gutters or even better yet, have your gutters inspected by a gutter expert.  It’s suggested to have your gutters inspected at least twice a year.

Overflowing gutters can cause problems worse than just stained siding. The repeated flow of water from overflowing gutters can cause wood siding to rot. A more serious problem can be caused when gutters overflow and water backs up under roofing shingles and flows down inside the wall cavity. Moist conditions like these can also increase the likelihood of termite infestation.
