Valley gutters are a constant source of anxiety for building owners and facility managers for years. Leaves and debris can accumulate quickly, clog the downspouts and water rushes into the building. Seams frequently leak and replacement is very difficult and costly.
Left: Debris screens installed in this valley gutter should be dismantled. Although they do a good job of keeping leaves away from the downspouts, It creates a dam of leaves that raises the water level within the gutter. When the level rises above the sides of the gutter, 100% of the rainwater will go into the building.
What You Can Do
Keep the Water Flowing – Remove all debris screens installed around the drains. Install a full length valley gutter screen instead.
