Standing Water in Gutters
If you have standing water in your gutters, perhaps you tried checking your downspouts. There’s a chance that you may not have found the problem even after checking—or the problem isn’t with your downspouts.
What causes standing water in gutters? There are many different things that can cause your gutters to clog, which can lead to standing water. Besides a downspout clog, the source of the problem might be:
- Sticks and twigs
- Leaves
- Tennis or golf balls or small toys
- Animal nest
