Gutters and roof runoff on Lancaster homes

Good runoff paths help both the roof and the rest of the home.

Infrequent but intense rain can test how well your gutters and downspouts move water away from the house.

Overflow and backflow

Clogged gutters can overflow backward, wetting roof edges and soffits in ways they were not designed for.

Downspout discharge

Short or poorly aimed downspouts can dump water near foundations, walkways and patios.

When we look at a roof, we also look at where the water goes once it leaves the shingles or tile.
