Debris and Drainage Conditions to Note
Every building faces different outdoor conditions depending on nearby trees and roof slope. When describing your property, take note of the materials that typically land on your roof and affect downspout drainage.
- Deciduous leaves and small twigs that collect along long gutter runs
- Evergreen needles and seed pods that catch near downspout openings
- Fine silt, decayed organic matter, or roofing granule buildup settling in low spots
- Standing water that remains in gutter sections days after rainfall
