🏠Check These Areas This Week: A Quick Roof Health Checklist for Homeowners
Not sure if your roof needs professional help?
Before you call in the pros, here’s a fast and simple visual inspection checklist you can do yourself. At Fox Roofing Company, we always recommend starting with a walk-around and a look in the attic—these small signs can point to big issues if left unchecked.
Use this guide to help you spot warning signs after a heat wave, heavy winds, or just regular seasonal wear.
🔦 Attic Check
Start indoors—your attic is where many roofing problems first show up.
Hotter than usual? Poor ventilation could be cooking your roof from the inside.
Musty or mildew smells? That’s a red flag for hidden moisture or trapped heat.
See daylight? If light is coming through the roof boards, water can too.
đź“Ź Roofline Check
Now step outside and look up at the silhouette of your roof.
Sagging or dipping? Could indicate structural issues or rotting decking.
Wavy lines? May signal old materials buckling under heat stress.
🌀 Gutter Check
Even clean-looking roofs can hide damage—your gutters tell the story.
Shingle granules collecting? That means your shingles are breaking down.
Clogs or overflow? Can lead to standing water and wood rot.
🧱 Tile & Shingle Surface Check
Finally, take a close look at the roof’s surface (from the ground or with binoculars).
Lifting or curling? Shingles or tiles may be detaching.
Cracking or discoloration? Signs of UV damage or moisture problems.
Exposed underlayment? Means the top layer has failed and needs attention.
