I have a one-year-old home with gutters that run underground to a drain next to my patio. Recently, I noticed they overflowed and spilled out. Is this a common issue?

Definitely not normal. Sometimes heavy rains can cause temporary backups, but if it keeps happening, check where the drainage pipe ends. If it’s underwater, that could indicate a clog. You could let the rain pass and then inspect your gutters and downspouts for any visible issues.
You might just have a clog in your underground drain line, especially if you recently did work around there. It might be worth checking after the rain stops.
It’s not typical for gutters to overflow like that. It could be a sign of a clog or maybe even a collapsed section. You might want to check them out and see if anything's blocking the flow.
