Due to a variety of trees about 20 ft away, the back, front...there was debris every inch of this gutter system. Gutter covers wouldn't work entirely in this residence. You can see pictured stem-like debris in the gutter which would only poke through a cover system.
The elbow was missing screws to keep it properly fitted to keep the two sections of piping together.
You can see evidence of pooling water in this picture of the mulch disturbance just below the elbow separation.
Two screws and four or five buckets of debris later, the downspouts are fully functional.
