Gutter Cleaning & Maintenance in Lexington, KY: What to Check
Overflowing gutters can send water exactly where you do not want it: behind fascia, against siding and next to the foundation.

Watch where water goes during rain
Overflow at one spot usually points to a clog, poor slope or a downspout problem. Water running behind the gutter can also indicate loose fasteners or failed attachment.
Check downspouts and discharge
Downspouts should move water away from the foundation and should not dump into a blocked extension. After cleaning, run water through each section to confirm flow.
Look for loose or damaged gutter sections
- Sagging between hangers
- Separated joints
- Loose downspouts
- Damaged fascia behind the gutter
- Water staining on siding
