Blocked gutters don't directly cause damp, but eventually rain water drains so slowly that they risk overflowing and it's that escape of water that causes walls and surfaces below to stay damp for longer periods than necessary.
Gutters are installed around the roofline of homes and businesses to reduce the amount of time that areas below stay wet, by channelling the majority of water away from the roof when it rains, safely into drains or a soakaway.
Over time, gutters inevitably fill up with debris that shouldn't be there, and even the slightest obstruction reduces the ability of the water to flow away in wet weather.
The longer homes and businesses in Warwickshire leave gutter cleaning, the more significant the build ups become. If you're starting to see water overflowing or leaking, that's a sign that the problem is progressing already.
