  2. Sagging or bent gutters: If your gutters are sagging or bent, it may be a sign that they are clogged with debris and can’t drain properly.
  3. Water pooling around the foundation: If you notice water pooling around the foundation of your home, it may be a sign that the gutters are blocked and the water is not being directed away from your home.
  4. Water stains on the interior or exterior walls: If you notice water stains on the interior or exterior walls of your home, it may be a sign that the gutters are blocked and water is overflowing and causing damage.
  5. Insects or pests: If you notice an increase in insects or pests, such as mosquitoes or rodents, around your home, it may be a sign that your gutters are blocked and providing a breeding ground for them.
