Performance Standard: Gutters may overflow during a heavy rain. Corrective Measure: The owner is responsible for keeping gutters and downspouts free of leaves and debris that could cause overflow. Observation: Water remains in the gutters after a rain.
Performance Standard: When a gutter is unobstructed by debris, the water level shall not exceed 1 inch in depth. Installing gutters with a 1/8-inch drop in one foot will generally prevent water from standing in the gutters. Even so, small amounts of water may remain in some sections of gutter for a short time after a rain.
Corrective Measure: The remodeler will repair the gutter to meet the performance standard.
