    That is an utter mess of self-leveling compound poured way too thick all at once, not fully covering the area, and then not using a proper thinset base. I guarantee the rest of that shitshow is going to go the same way.

    That needs to be torn out, the self-leveling garbage pounded out, proper plywood laid in and screwed to the joists for the majority of the space to get taken up, then maybe a thin layer of self-leveling if needed. A layer of Schluter uncoupling membrane can be used to disconnect the expansion of the walls and floor from the tile, with appropriate gaps (like 3/8") around the tile and hidden by the baseboard, with a snap down transition strip at the door that also allows expansion.

    And then find whoever installed that and slap the bejesus out of them.

    I see they’re trying to follow the line of the eaves, but the more accepted way of doing this would be a bottom outlet on the upper gutter, an elbow to attach the downspout section, then empty the downspout into the top of the lower gutter with another elbow. I’m not sure how the arrangement you show would avoid clogging and leaking. Probably not well.
