The signs are usually small at first

Overflowing water, dark staining below the gutter, weeds growing in the run, or damp patches near the roofline are all signs that water may not be draining properly.

Why it matters

Water that cannot run away cleanly can mark brickwork, soak fascias, attract pests and eventually create damp problems inside the property.

The practical next step

Send a few photos through the AI instant quote or book a simple gutter clearance and downpipe check before heavy rain makes the issue harder to ignore.
