The answer to 'why is my drip edge clogged gutters' is that a clogged drip edge is a common cause of clogged gutters. The drip edge is a metal flashing that is installed along the roof's edge to direct water from the roof into the gutters. Over time, debris like leaves, twigs, and dirt can accumulate in the drip edge and prevent water from properly flowing into the gutters.
This can lead to water backing up and overflowing the gutters, potentially causing damage to the roof, fascia, and siding. Symptoms of a clogged drip edge include water spilling over the gutter's edge, sagging or overflowing gutters, and stains or water damage on the exterior of the home.
