How to diagnose your own gutters in 20 minutes
Clearing of valleys, gutters and downspouts before the winter rain, where tree debris is the recurring load.
- Inspection of the actual roof, with photographs of what is found, before a written scope is prepared.
- Permit route confirmed per job: LADBS for City of Los Angeles addresses, Burbank Building & Safety for Burbank-side addresses.
- Covering specified for the parcel's fire-zone and cool-roof position, not from a generic list.
- Valleys, flashing and penetrations checked, because most leaks start at a junction.
- Gutters and drainage checked with the roof they serve, for concentrated winter rain.

Rain in the Valley is concentrated from November to March, so leaks most often reveal themselves at valleys, kick-out flashing, chimney and wall flashing, and tile underlayment during the first winter storms after a long dry summer has cracked sealants. That is why a stain on a ceiling rarely sits directly below the entry point, and why tracing a leak means walking the roof and the attic, not just patching above the stain.
