Outdoor entertaining is a big part of summer in Orange County—from BBQs in Irvine to backyard birthdays in Tustin. But while you’re prepping the patio and inflating pool floats, don’t forget about one crucial detail:

👉 Is your roof ready for summer guests?

At Fox Roofing Company, we often get called after a party—when a surprise leak, loose tile, or gutter overflow turned a fun day into a headache.
Here’s how to avoid that and make sure your roof is party-proof.

🧱 1. Check for Loose or Slipped Tiles/Shingles

Whether it’s a tile roof or asphalt shingles, summer heat can cause roofing materials to expand and shift.

Before your event:

Walk the perimeter of your home
Look for uneven, cracked, or displaced tiles
Call us if you see anything that looks out of place

Even one loose tile can fall or let water in—especially if you’re using sprinklers, misters, or shade sails.

💧 2. Clear Gutters & Check Drainage

Summer might be dry, but hoses, pool overflows, or spilled drinks can still test your drainage.

We recommend:

Clearing gutters and downspouts of leaves and debris
Making sure roof runoff isn’t spilling onto walking paths or electrical connections
Securing any gutter hardware that looks loose

Clean drainage helps prevent slippery patios and surprise water damage.

🌬️ 3. Inspect for Storm or Wind Damage

Spring winds may have done more than you realize.
Check for:

Missing flashing or vent caps
Broken ridge tiles
Small pieces of shingle or debris in your yard

Minor storm damage is often hidden—until foot traffic or heat reveals it.

🔍 4. Look Up From the Inside

Before guests arrive, step into your attic or the highest ceiling in your home and check for:

Water stains
Moldy smells
Bubbling drywall or discolored paint

These can be signs of a slow leak that could worsen if outdoor water or heat stress continues during your event.
