Clogged gutters — Haarlem, North Holland
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.
Why this is common in Haarlem
Steep tile and slate roofs in the protected centre suffer moss and degradation from frequent rain, and coastal wind and salt accelerate wear. Monument rules constrain materials, and narrow streets require specialized access and permits.
