What to know in WNY

Heavy lake-effect snow loads and ice dams are hard on gutters in the Southtowns and other snow-belt areas, and clay soils mean water that pools near the house tends to find its way into the basement. Check that every downspout discharges several feet from the foundation.

Frequently asked questions

Can gutters really cause basement leaks?

Yes. A single downspout emptying at the foundation can put a large volume of water against one wall during a storm.

What is a French drain?

A gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that collects groundwater or surface water and carries it away from the house.

When should gutters be cleaned in WNY?

Late fall after leaves drop is the most important cleaning before winter freeze-up.
