We have a mid century modern quad home with a low pitch roof. To better explain my concern I’ll take a photo of the house tomorrow and post it. We just replaced the roof, which is basically 2 rectangle areas (the smaller area is about 1/3 of the roof surface and the longer area about 2/3. The Smaller roof area has 1 gutter and one downspout, the bigger area had 1 gutter and 2 downspouts.(one at the north and one at the south corner of the garage).
We decided to replace the gutters and to have one spout instead of two for the bigger roof area because... the house is on a bit of a hill and in the case of a heavy rain, the water from the north side spout had a tendency to come back towards the garage. Now we are not sure having only one spout for such a big roof area was a good idea. We live in Michigan, so the winters are really winters here and I’m worried about the amount of snow and ice melting on the roof and having only one spout. Should we add back the second spout and is there a way to maybe adjust the gutter so some of the water goes through the north side spout but most water to go through the south side spout ? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you
