Monsoon Roof Checklist

Before July

1. Clear canales and scuppers
2. Look for dirt rings that show where water sat last year
3. Check parapet caps for new cracks
4. Check skylights, vents and flues
5. Look inside for old stains that may be spreading
6. Trim branches over the roof

During a storm

Stay off the roof. If water comes in, catch it, take photos and call. A blocked canale is often the culprit.

After a storm

• Check for fallen limbs on the roof
• Look for new stains inside
• After hail, get an inspection
