When Your Gutters Talk Back: 5 Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
When Your Gutters Talk Back: 5 Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
If Your Gutters Had a Voice, They’d Probably Be Yelling This...
It’s Saturday morning in Eugene. You’re enjoying a cup of coffee, maybe plotting a trip to Saturday Market, when suddenly—you notice a waterfall pouring over the edge of your roof.
Your gutters? They’re not whispering anymore. They’re screaming for attention.
And let’s be honest—you’ve got better things to do this weekend than climb a ladder and scoop out soggy leaves. That’s where we come in. Before things get worse, here are the 5 biggest signs your gutters are waving the white flag.
1. The Waterfall Effect
If your gutters turn into mini-Niagara Falls every time it rains, that’s not “extra drainage”—it’s a clog. Overflowing water wrecks siding, landscaping, and your foundation. In Eugene’s rainy climate, that’s a recipe for big trouble.
2. Sagging Like They’ve Given Up on Life
If your gutters are drooping, sagging, or pulling away from your home, it means they’re overloaded with gunk and water. Think of it like pants that need suspenders—except this situation can damage your roofline too.
3. A Rooftop Garden (Unintentionally)
If moss, weeds, or small plants are thriving in your gutters, congrats—you’re running an accidental greenhouse. Cute, maybe. Functional? Nope. This is a classic “clogged gutters in Oregon” scenario.
4. Moldy, Stained Siding
Those black streaks or green patches on your siding aren’t just ugly—they’re signs your gutters are overflowing and feeding mold. Left alone, this can turn into a health hazard.
5. A Moat Around Your Foundation
Puddles around your home’s base? Bad sign. Gutters are supposed to carry water away. If they’re failing, you could be staring down foundation cracks and basement leaks.

Picture it: you on a ladder, elbow-deep in gunk, dodging spiders, wondering how your weekend slipped away. Nah. Leave it to the pros at ACE Home Services so you can go do literally anything else—like brunch at Off the Waffle or walking Pre’s Trail.
