Spotting a single missing shingle or a cracked sealant line early can prevent thousands of dollars in interior water damage. A semi-annual visual inspection keeps your home's most important shield intact.
Use binoculars from the ground to scan the entire roof surface. Look for missing, curled, or cracked shingles.
Pay special attention to the metal flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents. Ensure the sealant isn't dried out or peeling away.
Go into the attic on a sunny day with the lights off. Look for any daylight poking through the roof boards, which indicates a hole.
