Fall Roof & Gutter Check: 7 Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
As temperatures begin to lower and leaves begin to fall, your roof and gutters face new challenges. Finding small problems early can save you thousands in future repairs. Here are seven warning signs every homeowner should watch for this season:
1. Sagging Gutters: If your gutters appear to bow or pull away from the house, it’s a sign they’re clogged, overloaded, or improperly fastened. This can make water spill over and damage siding or your home’s foundation.
2. Overflowing Water During Rain: Water cascading over the sides of your gutters means debris is blocking the flow. This not only ruins landscaping but can also lead to fascia rot and ice buildup once winter hits.
3. Shingle Granules in the Gutters: Finding a buildup of shingle granules after rainfall indicates your shingles are wearing down. It’s often an early warning that your roof’s protective layer is deteriorating.
4. Loose, Cracked, or Missing Shingles: After a summer of heat and storms, shingles can curl, crack, or blow away entirely. Exposed areas let moisture in, which can quickly escalate into leaks or structural damage.
5. Stains or Streaks on Ceilings and Walls: Interior discoloration usually points to hidden roof leaks. Even small stains suggest moisture is seeping in, and the longer it’s ignored, the worse it gets.
6. Mold or Moss Growth: Dark streaks, green patches, or moss along your shingles or gutters are more than cosmetic issues. They hold moisture against your roof, speeding up deterioration and shortening its lifespan.
7. Light Visible in the Attic: If sunlight can shine through your roof boards, so can water. A quick attic check on a sunny day can reveal gaps that need sealing before snow arrives.
