Over the course of time, leaves, twigs, sticks, and other types of tree debris fall blocking the outlet that leads to the downspout. This can stop the flow of water from running through your gutters properly. Surprisingly, items such as a tennis ball, kids toy, or bird nests can also cause clogging to occur. When this happens, the gutters will begin to overflow when it rains. This will cause the fascia boards to rot, the foundation to bed damaged, and the ground will be softer around the home.
