As autumn leaves blanket our neighbourhood in vibrant colours, they bring more than just seasonal beauty - they also present a challenge for your home's gutter system.

Ensuring that your gutters are clear after autumn is essential to prevent issues such as water ingress which in turn can damage your walls and create damp patches inside your home.

Here, we explain how to identify blocked guttering, the importance of gutter cleaning, and how DK Roofing Solutions can assist you.

How to Know Your Gutters Are Blocked

Blocked gutters and downpipes can lead to a myriad of issues, including water overflow, foundation damage, and roof leaks. But how do you know if your gutters are experiencing a blockage?

Indicators include:

  • Visible signs of water overflow during rainfall.
  • Sagging gutters or stains on the exterior walls.
  • Plant growth emerging from your gutters.
  • Damp patches on the inside of your home – on the walls.
  • Mould growth on the walls inside your home

The quickest and most efficient way to determine if your gutters are blocked is by employing drone operators for detailed drone surveys.
