Full rain gutters will substantially increase the likelihood of ice dams, but gutters filled with leaves can also buckle when they\'re filled with ice and snow that can\'t effectively drain. Rain gutters that don\'t drain can also collect more snow, which increases the chance of rot along the sof fit and fascia. For these reasons, it\'s essential that the rain gutters are cleaned every year to avoid the emergency roof repairs. You should also verify that they drain properly; an inadequate slant can also cause water to stagnate in the gutter.\n\n
