Gutters are designed to conduct rain and water to downspouts that discharge the water at or below the ground. When gutters get clogged, they’re no longer able to perform this essential duty. Nothing clogs gutters faster, or more completely than falling leaves in the autumn. At the very least, when gutters are clogged, rain will flow over the gutters and create a curtain of dipping water all
