Signs Your Roof Needs Attention After a Long Summer

As summer winds down in the Greater St. Louis area, many homeowners overlook the subtle damage that heat, storms, and debris may have caused. Even minor wear can escalate into leaks, mold, or structural issues if left unchecked.

Inspect Shingles and Flashing

Shingles can crack, curl, or lose granules from prolonged sun exposure. Flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents may also loosen. A thorough inspection identifies these issues early.

Bade Tip: Look for missing granules in gutters and on the ground near your home—these are early warning signs of shingle wear.

Check for Leaks Inside the Home

Water stains on ceilings or walls, musty odors, and damp spots in the attic are signs your roof may be compromised. Catching leaks early can prevent extensive damage.

Clean Roof and Gutters

Debris can trap moisture and encourage rot. Ensure your gutters are clear and remove leaves and branches from roof surfaces.
