Observe from a safe location
During moderate rain, look for overflow, leaking seams, sagging runs and water pooling around downspouts. Avoid ladders during bad weather or when you are not trained and equipped to work safely.
Keep flow paths open
Leaves and debris can block outlets and downspouts. Clearing may be needed seasonally or more often around tree cover. Choose safe professional service when access is difficult.
Pay attention to discharge
A downspout that drops water beside the foundation may need a different discharge solution. Grading, extensions and landscape drainage interact with the gutter system.
Know when repairs are not enough
Repeated separation, widespread corrosion and poor slopes can make replacements worth considering. An assessment should explain the root problem, not simply add more sealant.
Need a Professional Assessment?
General guidance is a starting point. The condition of your specific property determines an appropriate scope. Tell KWC what you are seeing and ask for an assessment.
