Question: In heavy rain, water from a roof valley over-flows the gutter. This is above our garage door, so anyone opening or closing the garage gets wet! Is there some sort of gutter splash guard we could fit to avoid this problem?
Answer: Deflecting water from an overloaded roof valley gutter is probably the most challenging roof gutter configuration. The valley is created by two sections of roof meeting at a sharp angle. The valley acts to concentrate a higher volume of water (from both roof sections) in one channel leading down to the intersection of two gutters.
This is often not a problem – when there are bushes or garden below. In your case, the water overshoots onto you garage entrance, so it matters here.
The solution is to buy a gutter splash guard , but make sure you select one which will deflect and spread the water flow, but without collecting debris, getting blocked, and making the situation even worse!
