Memphis weather swings hard—heavy spring storms, gusty summer downpours, and long stretches of humidity that make debris stick inside gutters. When gutters fill up, water spills over and lands right at the foundation, and with our soft loess soil, that runoff quickly erodes the grade and pushes moisture toward crawlspaces and slabs. We’ve seen Midtown bungalows and Southeast Memphis homes take on moldy smells indoors just because clogged gutters sent water back toward the house. Seasonal leaf drop from oaks and sweetgums adds to the pile, especially in neighborhoods like East Memphis and Cordova. We usually pull supplies from places like Home Depot on Poplar or the Winchester Lowe’s to get homes flowing again.
