I spent a good hour up there on the roof inspecting the shingles and flashing after that last big storm, feeling a bit nervous on the ladder but wanting to catch any loose spots before winter really sets in. The gutters were clogged with leaves, and I noticed a few areas where the sealant around the vents had cracked, so I'll need to patch those before water finds its way inside. It's not the most exciting chore, but a thorough roof inspection saves you from costly leaks and ice dams later on. roof inspection 12
