Pre-Storm Roof Inspection Checklist
Inspect your roof before storm season to prevent ceiling water damage. Missing shingles, damaged flashing, and clogged valleys cause most roof leaks.
From the ground (or safely on a ladder): check for missing, curled, or cracked shingles; damaged flashing around chimneys and vents; clogged gutters and valleys; and sagging areas. Attic inspection: look for daylight through roof boards, water stains on rafters, and wet insulation.
Document roof condition with photos before hurricane season — insurers compare pre- and post-storm condition. Hire a professional inspection every 3–5 years or after major storms.
Roof leaks cause Class 3 ceiling damage when water saturates insulation and joists. Early detection prevents $5,000+ interior restoration costs.
