What should I check on the roof after monsoon season?
After monsoon season, check for missing, cracked, or lifted tiles and shingles, especially on older roofs. Look for damage around roof penetrations like vents, chimneys, and skylights where high winds can cause leaks. Inspect gutters and downspouts for blockages from debris, and check that they're still securely attached. Walk around the property to see if you notice any pooling water on flat roof sections, which could indicate drainage problems. Inside the attic, look for water stains, moisture, or daylight coming through. Monsoon storms can be intense and may reveal vulnerabilities that weren't obvious before. The specifics depend on your situation and a licensed inspector should confirm the roof's condition, and Jon can connect you with one.
