Hello,

Can anyone tell me if a clogged up gutter can cause an internal leak? The gutter between the roof tiles and brick Part of my house has been backed up with moss and other debris for a while, and today a leak has begun in the kitchen. I checked the area above the leak and found no sign of any leaks in the room above. I have now cleared he gutter completely and it was full of saturated sodden moss and mud, is it possible that the water ( we have had heavy rain for a few days now) has got into the wooden structure of the house leading to this small leak in the kitchen?
