Clogged gutters are the number-one preventable cause of basement water intrusion, foundation erosion, and fascia rot in Chicagoland homes. When gutters fill with leaves, shingle grit, and debris, rainwater has nowhere to go — it spills over the edge, saturates the soil against your foundation, and can seep into basement walls through cracks that would otherwise stay dry. In winter, the problem compounds: standing water in clogged gutters freezes, forms ice dams under shingle edges, and forces meltwater into your attic and wall cavities.
