SEASONAL TIPS

FALL

Time for an Inspection

During the fall season, conduct a comprehensive roof inspection. Ensure you are comfortable with heights before conducting a roof inspection. Otherwise, call a professional roofing contractor to schedule an inspection.

For sloped roofs:

• check for dark stains that may signify algae and fungus growth
• clean clogged gutters
• remove debris
• repair any damage to flashing

For flat roofs:

• repair any flashing damage
• check for cracks in roofing felt
• check for any spongy spots that may signify a water leak
• check condition of supports of air conditioners and other mechanical equipment secured to roof

Don’t forget to check inside the building as well. Look for brown spots or rings on the ceiling or water stains on the wall. These signs may illustrate a roof leak.
