How to Inspect Your Roof | Fox Valley Homeowner Checklist
Most homeowners don’t climb onto their roof regularly, but knowing how to check for roofing problems can help prevent major damage. This guide explains what to look for and when to call a professional roofer.
And before your worry, this inspection is something you can do safely from the ground.
Step 1: Inspect From the Ground
Homeowners should first look for:
• Missing shingles
• Curling shingles
• Dark streaks or moss
• Damaged flashing around chimneys
• Sagging roof areas
Step 2: Check Inside the Attic
Look for:
• Water stains on rafters
• Damp insulation
• Mold or mildew
• Light visible through the roof deck
Step 3: Inspect After Storms
After strong winds or hail, check for:
• Shingles in the yard
• Bent gutters
• Granules collecting in gutters (end of downspout)
• Visible roof damage
When to Call a Professional
If you notice any of these issues, a roof inspection is recommended.
Professional roof inspections can safely identify problems that may not be visible from the ground.
