Post-Rain Roof Inspections: What to Check Before Summer Heat Hits

After a soggy spring across Northwest Ohio, your roof has been working overtime. Heavy rain, high winds, and clogged gutters can all take a toll—often in ways that go unnoticed until serious damage is done. Now that the forecast is clearing up and summer is on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to schedule a post-rain roof inspection.

Water is one of the most damaging elements your roof can face. When shingles are saturated or flashing is pulled loose by wind, even a small leak can lead to interior water damage, mold, or rotted decking. The longer it goes unchecked, the more expensive the fix becomes.

You may not get up on your roof, but here are a few signs that you might need an inspection:

Ceiling stains or drips after heavy rain
Shingles that look curled, cracked, or missing
Granules collecting in your gutters
Musty smells in your attic or upper-level rooms

Why Summer Is Ideal for Roof Repairs

With better weather on the way, June and July are prime months for roofing work. Materials seal better in warm, dry conditions, and it’s easier to schedule repairs before back-to-school or fall storms roll in.
