Overflow
Why a Campbellton gutter spills over
A gutter overflows when water reaches it faster than it can leave. Where the water spills over, and when, points to the cause.
Overflow is not the same as a leak. A leak drips from a joint underneath the gutter. Overflow comes over the top edge of the trough, in a sheet or a stream.
Spills at one outlet
Leaves or grit have packed into the outlet or the first elbow. Clearing it and flushing the downspout restores the flow.
Spills along the whole run
The trough itself is full of debris. A hand cleaning clears it.
Spills at the far end of a long run
One downspout is draining more roof than it can handle. Adding a second outlet splits the load.
Spills in one low spot
That stretch has sagged, so water gathers there. The hangers are reset to bring back the fall.
Spills in heavy rain even when clear
The gutter may be too small for the roof area feeding it. A 6-inch gutter, our standard, carries more than a 5-inch one.
Spills since a new roof went on
The new roofing may end at a different point over the gutter. The run is reset to catch the water where it now leaves the edge.
Spills at an inside corner
Two runs pour into one corner. An outlet at or near that corner drains it.
Spills below a roof valley
Two roof slopes meet and send a concentrated stream to one point. An added outlet near the valley helps.
When a bigger gutter is the answer
For a gutter too small for its roof, the fix is a new seamless run in the 6-inch size, formed on site to the roof edge, with outlets placed for the roof above it. A 6-inch gutter can take a larger downspout than a 5-inch one, so more water leaves at each outlet. The change is made run by run, so only the runs that overflow need to be replaced. The old gutter is taken down and hauled away.
Overflow where an upper roof drains onto a lower one
On a house with two roof levels, an upper downspout that empties onto the lower roof adds all of its water to the lower gutter. That lower run can overflow in a hard rain even when it is clean and the right size. Carrying the upper downspout down the wall, past the lower roof and on to the ground, takes that load off the lower gutter. The upper downspout then gets its own extension or splash block at the ground.
Your quote
What an overflow quote depends on
The written quote is one price for the whole fix. It moves with:
Feet of gutter involved
One corner outlet, one run, or every run on the building.
New outlets
Each added downspout brings its own pipe, elbows and splash block.
Height
Upper-story runs take more setup to reach than ground-floor ones.
Guards
Whether guards go on after the cleaning.
Overflow under a metal roof
Rain comes off a metal roof faster than off shingles, so a gutter under metal takes more water at once in a hard rain. A run that keeps up under shingles can spill under metal. More outlets along the run, or a 6-inch gutter in place of a smaller one, lets it keep pace. Guards under a metal roof are fitted with that faster flow in mind.
Overflow on commercial buildings
A commercial roof can send a large amount of water to each gutter, and when it overflows it pours onto entrances, parking and walks that people use. More outlets, placed away from the doors, spread that water out. Tell us which entrances see the most people, and the outlets are kept away from them. The work is scheduled around business hours.
Gutter guards
Guards to keep overflow from returning
When overflow comes back because leaves keep filling the trough, guards cut down how fast it refills.
Over sound gutters
Guards go over existing gutters after they are cleaned and any sag or leak is repaired.
What they stop
Leaves, needles and twigs stay on top and blow off, while rain drops through into the trough.
What they do not stop
Fine grit still gets in, and a gutter too small for its roof will overflow with or without a guard.
Upkeep
Gutters under guards need a check now and then, and less clearing than open gutters.
Some runs only
Guards can go on the runs under trees and be left off the runs in the open.
Cleaning without guards
If guards are not wanted, a hand cleaning can be set to repeat so the outlets stay open between storms.
Other gutter work
More of the gutter service
New gutters
Seamless runs for buildings or roof edges that have none, in 6-inch or half-round aluminum or copper, colored to match the trim.
Leak repair
Corners, seams and outlets resealed, or the damaged piece replaced.
Downspout moves
An outlet moved or extended so water lands away from a door or wall. Our drainage work stays above ground.
Details that help with an overflow quote
Say whether the gutters were cleaned lately and whether the spilling started after a storm or has always happened. If there are trees over the roof, mention that too, since it bears on whether guards belong on the quote. If water sprays from a joint partway down a downspout, say so; that is a downspout fault rather than gutter overflow.
