5 Signs Your Roof Drainage System Needs Immediate Attention

Here in Southwest Florida, where heavy rain is a regular visitor, keeping your roof drainage system in top shape is essential. Features like your gutters, soffit, and fascia protect your home from water damage, mold, and costly structural issues. Today we’ll walk you through five key warning signs that it’s time to take action.

1. Water spilling over the edges of your gutters

If water overflows from the sides during rain, your gutters may be clogged or improperly pitched. This can lead to foundation issues, soil erosion, and water stains on your exterior walls.

2. Soffit showing signs of mold or swelling

The soffit keeps your attic ventilated, which is critical in Florida’s heat. Black spots, bubbling, or sagging areas usually mean moisture is trapped—often due to poor drainage or damaged gutters.

3. Fascia that’s cracked, rotting, or separating

Your fascia boards support the gutters and protect the roof’s edge. Visible damage here is more than cosmetic—it can threaten your roof’s structural integrity if ignored.

4. Loose or sagging gutters

If your gutters are hanging or pulling away from your house, they’re no longer working properly. The issue may come from decayed wood, rusted fasteners, or an outdated system.

5. Pooling water near your home’s foundation

If you notice standing water around the base of your home after a storm, that’s a major red flag. Gutters should direct water away—not let it collect where it can cause long-term damage.
