How It Works
Your Gutter in an Orlando Summer Storm
The minute-by-minute account of why a clean, correctly hung gutter puts water over its front edge, and which of the three possible causes you are looking at.
Field Notes
Shorter pieces on Orlando gutters
One-topic write-ups on the local specifics: what the trees do and when, which rules apply to roof runoff in Florida, and why new houses here overflow as readily as old ones.
How It Works
New Orlando Houses Already Overflow
Builder gutter packages are specified to a build budget rather than to Central Florida rainfall, which is why new subdivisions overflow like 1920s bungalows.
Local Rules
HOA Approval for Gutters in Florida
Florida HOAs can regulate exterior appearance, including gutter colour and profile. Chapter 720 sets out how those decisions have to be made and given.
Local Rules
Orlando Tree Rules and Your Roofline
The City of Orlando protects trees under Chapter 60 of the city code. It rarely touches gutter work directly, but it reaches the tree work that comes with it.
Local Rules
Roof Runoff and the Lot Next Door
Florida dropped the common enemy rule in 1989 and adopted reasonable use, which means pointing a downspout extension at the fence line is not simply your right.
Maintenance
Orlando Gutters Clog in Spring
Southern live oak is semi-deciduous and sheds its old leaves from March into early May, which makes most national gutter maintenance advice wrong for Orlando.
