A sure sign (that) you need to clean your gutters is when water starts to overflow! This can happen during heavy rains and be very evident; however, there're other telltale signs as well. For instance, if you notice that leaves and debris are clogging up the bottom of the gutters, this is a red flag that it's time for cleaning. Additionally, if the gutter system has started to sag or pull away from the house, then your gutters have become too full and need attention. Lastly, if you hear loud noises coming from your gutters when it rains – like gurgling or dripping– then this means they’re likely blocked with debris.

So don't wait until there's a problem: act quickly once you see these warning signs! Cleaning out your gutters periodically will help prevent any costly repairs or damage to your home in the future. Plus, it'll make sure that rainwater is draining properly so you won't have any additional problems down the line! So get yourself some gloves and start scooping out those clogs -before they cause more destruction!
