Rain gutters are an essential part of your roofing system and play a big in protecting your home from water damage. Overflowing gutters can cause a number of problems for homeowners, by damaging the interior and exterior of their home, which could prove costly.
Plenty of Rainfall

Limited Amount of Gutters or Downspouts on Your Home
You may find that being short on gutters or downspouts to adequately cover every side of your home can put pressure on the other portion of gutters. Overworking the existing gutters can lead to water overflow because there is not enough room available for the water to flow. To solve this issue requires one of two things, either adding additional gutters to the current to handle the rain or get new gutters capable of handling high capacity rainwater. The downspout can be fixed in the same manner as well to prevent overflow.
Clogged Gutters
A clogged gutter can cause the overflowing of rainwater, stemming from debris accumulation, like leaves, spoiled dirt and other organic debris. This debris blocks the gutters and prevents rainwater from flowing through them and out the downspouts like it should.

It is also possible for mold to develop, which can become a serious help hazard for you and your family.
Clogged Downspouts
