November is the perfect month to get out your ladder and do a roof check for any damage or leaks. You’ll want to do this before the first snowstorm, as snow can cause troublesome leaks as much as rain can.
According to houselogic.com, here is what you want to look for:
- cracked caulk or rust spots on flashing;
- buckling, curling, or blistering shingles as well as any missing or broken shingles;
- cracked and worn rubber boots around vent pipes;
- masses of moss and lichen, which could signal decay below; and
- piles of colored grit from asphalt roof tiles in the gutters.
- dark spots on ceilings;
- peeling paint underneath roof overhangs;
- damp spots next to fireplaces; and
- water stains on pipes that vent your water heater or furnace.
