Early on, it usually shows up as dark or greyish sandy grit in your gutters or below your downspouts after it rains. It can seem minor, which makes it easy to brush off.<\/span><\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But those tiny granules do a lot more than sit on the surface of your roof. They protect the asphalt underneath from sunlight, weather, impact, and heat.
