When’s the last time you checked your roof? (No judgment—we get it.) But your roof is like a superhero cape for your house. If it’s damaged or blocked by leaves, water finds its way in fast.
What to do:
- Clear out gutters and downspouts (at least every season).
- Make sure water’s flowing away from your house, not pooling at the foundation.
- After storms, take a look for missing shingles or sagging spots.
Don’t want to climb up there? Hire a pro for a quick inspection. A little maintenance goes a long way.
