It's often both. Overflowing gutters in our area can be caused by clogged gutters themselves, but frequently point to underlying roof issues like damaged drip edge, improper shingle overhang, or ice dam-related damage from past weather. We recommend a combined roof and gutter inspection to identify the root cause—fixing just the gutters might leave your roof deck vulnerable to water damage.

Safety first. Do not climb onto the roof yourself. Visually inspect from the ground for obvious punctures or displaced shingles. Then, call a professional like Roof Max for a thorough inspection. Even small debris can compromise roofing materials and sealants. We'll check for hidden damage to the underlayment and structure that, if missed, can lead to leaks and rot, which are common issues after our local wind events.

A proactive inspection is key. Before our seasonal winds and rains, have a roofer check for loose or worn shingles, secure flashing around vents and chimneys, and ensure gutters are clear and properly attached. Reinforcing these vulnerable points can prevent debris from getting underneath materials and stop water from backing up under the shingles—saving you from emergency repairs later.
