Dark streaks down your gutters and downspouts tell us that the water is
overflowing. This can be caused by several conditions 1. Downspout clogged 2.
Slope of the roof is too steep and shoots the water over the gutter 3. Gutters
are not attached securely to the fascia and the drop is incorrect not allowing
the water to move toward the downspout. Most often it is due to clogged
downspouts, either way maintenance on your gutters are a tri-yearly chore if you
want to control the water successfully.
See photo below...

If water is shooting over your gutters you can install a diverter. Often
times the volume of water from a heavy rain can not be captured successfully by
the gutter where two or more steep roofs come together without a diverter.
