All of this combined together, with a little bit of time, makes for the perfect compost of weeds and plants from airborne seeds and spores. If you leave your gutters blocked for longer periods of time, you have find they become damaged from deep-rooted plants.
How do I know my gutters are blocked?
There are certainly some tell-tale signs. Look for green foliage peeping over the edge of your guttering. Check for water spilling over the edges of your guttering during heavy rainfall. Other things to keep an eye out for is sagging or deformed guttering and build of of algae around joints.
