🧰 What to Look For This Week
Quick visual roof tips for Orange County homeowners
If you haven’t looked up at your roof in a while, this is your reminder.
At Fox Roofing Company, we’re seeing a pattern across homes in Irvine, Tustin, and Costa Mesa this time of year:
🔧 Small issues from the summer heat that are easy to miss but even easier to fix if you catch them early.
Here’s what we recommend checking this week:
👀 Roofline
Stand back and look at the shape of your roof from the front yard.
Do you notice sagging, dips, or a wavy appearance?
Is the ridge line straight?
A clean roofline = a healthy structure underneath.
🧱 Shingles or Tiles
Grab binoculars or zoom in with your phone camera:
Are any shingles curling, cracked, or missing?
Do you see discolored or slipped tiles?
Even one or two out of place can lead to water intrusion when fall hits.
🌬️ Vents, Pipes, and Skylights
These areas are common weak spots. Look for:
Rust or corrosion
Cracked sealant or exposed gaps
Signs of movement or warping after a heatwave
🌫️ Attic Space
Take a quick peek inside (especially during the hottest part of the day):
Does it feel extra hot or humid?
Do you smell mildew or see light coming through?
That could be poor ventilation or hidden roof damage.
🌧️ Gutters & Ground Debris
Are shingle granules collecting by your downspouts?
Do you see bits of tile or flashing on the ground?
These small signs often go unnoticed until a leak shows up.
