Dry Rot Damage from Clogged Gutters

The Ultimate in Leaf Gutter Protection

The Problem:

Dry Rot Water Damage

Clogged gutters can have a devastating impact on a home’s structural integrity, particularly when excess water is left to seep into vulnerable wooden elements. When gutters are blocked with leaves and debris, rainwater can’t flow properly through the downspouts, leading to overflow. This excess moisture often pools around the roofline, soaking into the fascia and soffits. Over time, the continuous exposure to water weakens the wood, creating the perfect conditions for dry rot to take hold. Dry rot occurs when certain fungi feed on the wood’s cellulose, breaking down its fibers and causing it to become brittle and structurally unsound. If not addressed, the affected wood loses its strength and can compromise the home’s exterior, leading to costly repairs.
