What's different about gutters in Kennesaw
- Newer subdivisions, different problems. Homes in newer neighborhoods often have younger trees and lighter debris, but overflow during summer storms can still happen where gutters or downspouts are small for the roof. The fix is often more or larger downspouts, not more cleaning.
- Wooded lots near the mountain. Wooded neighborhoods, including those near Kennesaw Mountain, can have heavy mixed canopy, which calls for a more frequent schedule.
- Buried downspout lines. Some homes route downspouts underground to the street or a pop-up emitter. When those clog, water backs up at the base of the downspout. See downspout and drain line cleaning.
Storm overflow on newer homes
If your gutters are clean and still overflow in a downpour, it's usually a capacity problem. Watch where it happens: at an inside corner (a roof valley), above a single downspout on a long run, or along the whole length. Each points to a different fix. Read why gutters overflow: 7 causes, and see gutter sizing and replacement if the gutters are simply too small.
