Clogged gutters — Barcelona, Catalonia
Clogged gutters prevent water from draining off the roof properly, causing overflow that can damage fascia boards, siding, and the foundation. Debris buildup also adds weight that can pull gutters away from the house. A roofer or gutter specialist can clean, repair, and secure your gutter system.
Waarom dit veel voorkomt in Barcelona
The Eixample's early-1900s buildings feature flat and tile roofs, ornate Modernista cornices, and shared terraces (terrats) that require heritage-aware repair on catalogued buildings. Mediterranean humidity and occasional intense autumn storms drive waterproofing and drainage work, and façade-and-roof interventions on protected blocks need Ajuntament heritage clearance before scaffolding goes up.
