With roof replacement being so expensive, you probably want to do what you can to keep your roof in good condition for as long as possible. Among the things that can do damage to your roof, what you want to keep an eye out for is water damage.
There are few conditions that can do more damage than water that is allowed to sit on the roof or that seeps in underneath the roofing material. This means that you need to make sure that your gutters and downspouts are doing the work that they were designed for. When there is a rainstorm, a lot of water could collect on your roof. If your gutters or downspouts are clogged, that water can back up underneath the roof.
Another danger is that the water coming out of the downspouts could collect around your foundation and do damage. It is important to have proper grading around your home, as well as a downspout extension to get the water away from your home.
