Are your gutters installed properly? While everything might look alright, there is a possible problem that many homeowners aren’t even aware of. When you have a roof that has different levels, the gutters from a higher section of the roof should not be draining onto the roof below it. Instead they should have a downspout that drains the water directly into the gutter at the bottom of the roof.
While you might think that the roof is ok to handle the extra water falling on it when it rains, the excessive water can actually cause damage to your roof, leading to costly repairs. If you notice this issue with your gutters, you should take care of it as soon as possible. A closer inspection of the roof can show you the damage that it causes. Sometimes there will be visible water damage, and other times you will find moss or algae growth on the roof that could have been avoided.
