Key takeaway	Why it matters in Windermere
Surface protection is a drainage problem, not just a gutter problem.	Splashback and runoff paths can discolor stucco, leave water marks on pavers, and keep moisture where you do not want it during repeated storms.
Outlet flow is the first place storm performance breaks down.	Restrictions at the outlet or inside the downspout can cause quick backups and spillover even when the gutter run looks clear.
Seamless gutters reduce long-term drip points.	Fewer seams typically means fewer joints to maintain over time, especially around corners where water volume is highest.
Pitch consistency prevents hidden low spots.	Low spots hold water, trap fine grit, and create repeat clogs that show up as sudden overflow in heavy rain.
Downspout discharge should be planned around walkways and beds.	Directing runoff away from paths and landscaping helps prevent pooling, erosion, and mud splash on walls near entry areas.

If you’re noticing	Most likely need	What to check first
Water marks on pavers near a downspout	Discharge adjustment	Where the downspout empties and whether runoff moves away from the home
Overflow near one downspout during heavy rain	Outlet flow check	Outlet opening, compacted debris, and downspout routing from top to discharge
Gutters holding water after storms	Pitch correction	Slope consistency across the run toward the outlet
Streaking on stucco or fascia near the roof edge	Leak and overshoot review	Corner joints, roof-edge fit, and any water escaping behind the gutter line

Finish issue you see	Most likely cause	What to correct	Result
Water marks on pavers near entries	Downspout discharge lands too close or flows across the walking path	Redirect discharge away from pavers and toward a safer runoff path	Less staining and fewer slippery spots after storms
Dark streaks under a gutter edge	Overflow or overshoot behind the gutter line during peak rain	Verify roof-edge fit and correct any leak points at corners and end caps	Cleaner fascia line and reduced moisture exposure
Algae or green buildup near walls	Repeated splashback from discharge or slow drainage in one area	Adjust discharge placement and confirm outlets drain freely	Drier surfaces and easier maintenance
Mulch washout in landscaping beds	Concentrated runoff hitting soil at high speed	Redirect and spread discharge so water does not cut channels	Less erosion and fewer post-storm cleanups
Overflow at one corner during storm bursts	High-flow roof section feeding one short run or outlet bottleneck	Review corner transitions, outlet capacity, and downspout routing in that zone	Fewer repeat overflows in the same spot

Ask this	You want to hear	Why it matters
Where will downspouts discharge water?	Discharge plan keeps water off pavers, away from entry paths, and away from the foundation line	Prevents staining, pooling, and splashback that discolors stucco and trim
How will you prevent overflow at corners in storm bursts?	Corner sealing and secure fastening are part of the scope, with a plan for high-flow zones	Corners are where turbulence and volume create drip lines and streaking
Will you verify pitch across each run?	Pitch is checked end-to-end so water consistently moves to the outlet	Low spots hold water, trap grit, and trigger repeat clogs and overflow
How will you confirm outlets drain freely?	Outlets and downspouts are checked for restrictions and routed for clean flow	Outlet bottlenecks are a common cause of “mystery overflow” in heavy rain
What is your plan for roof valley high-flow sections?	Valley discharge points are identified and supported with enough drainage capacity	Valleys can overwhelm one short section, causing repeat overflow and staining
What warranty covers workmanship vs materials?	Clear terms and what happens if a leak or pitch issue appears after installation	Sets expectations and protects you if performance issues show up later
