This is simply water that has a high mineral content — mainly magnesium and calcium.

A clogged gutter could cause a backup of water which could potentially build up around the foundation. Depending on the amount of water, it could then leak into your basement or crawl space. Left unchecked, this could lead to costly foundation issues and even mold.
