Why Your Roof’s Drainage System Matters
At Scarpone and Sons Inc., we often encounter homeowners who overlook one crucial aspect of their roof’s health: the gutter system. While many focus solely on shingles and insulation, neglecting your gutters can lead to severe consequences for your entire home.
The Role of Gutters in Roof Health
Gutters play a vital role in protecting your home by:
- Directing water away from your foundation
- Preventing soil erosion around your property
- Protecting siding from water damage

1. Sagging gutters
2. Water overflow during rainstorms
3. Visible cracks or holes
