Common Debris and Drainage Conditions
Drainage issues vary depending on the surrounding trees and seasonal accumulations. Recognizing how different materials collect helps identify what is happening along your roofline:
- Deciduous leaves that carpet gutter troughs and block open downspout drops.
- Pine needles and twigs that knit together into dense mats along low-pitch runs.
- Organic silt and decomposing matter that restrict flow during lighter rain showers.
- Trapped seeds or small weeds sprouting in corners where standing water lingers.
