Check the roof from the ground

From the ground, look for missing material, sagging or debris. Do not climb onto the roof.

Why it matters

Visible damage can signal a need for professional assessment.

Steps

  1. From the ground, look for missing material, sagging or debris. Do not climb onto the roof.
  2. Repeat after major storms, once authorities say the area is safe.
  3. Ask a roofer to inspect suspected damage or age-related wear.

How often should I check the roof from the ground?

Yearly is the planning default. Follow your equipment instructions and act sooner on a fault.
