Good questions

Ice Dam Water Damage in Lake San Marcos, answered

Lake San Marcos receives significant winter rainfall that delivers large water volumes to roof gutters. Gutters designed for lower rainfall amounts become overwhelmed, especially if clogged with debris. Heavy rainfall that falls faster than gutters can drain causes backup. Adding gutter capacity prevents backup.

Ensure downspouts extend at least six feet from the foundation to direct water away from the home. Avoid downspout termination near the foundation, which allows water to seep into basements and crawlspaces. Install extensions with proper slope so water flows away on the surface. Proper downspout routing is as important as gutter clearing.
