ROOF LEAK PREVENTION CHECKLIST - PASSAIC, NJ
Prevent Roof Leaks Before They Become Emergencies

Use this quick roof care checklist after major storms and before harsh seasonal weather.

✓ Schedule roof inspections twice a year.
Catch loose shingles, cracked flashing, and soft spots before leaks spread.
✓ Replace missing or cracked shingles.
A single broken shingle can open a path for water under the roof layer.
✓ Clean gutters and downspouts.
Keep rainwater moving away from roof edges, fascia, and foundation areas.
✓ Watch for attic moisture.
Wet insulation, musty odors, and dark wood can point to hidden leaks.
✓ Trim overhanging branches.
Reduce branch rub, falling limbs, leaves, and storm debris on the roof.
✓ Remove heavy snow and ice safely.
Reduce ice dam risks and extra roof load during winter weather.
✓ Check flashing and roof sealants.
Pay attention to chimneys, skylights, vent pipes, and roof-wall transitions.
✓ Call quickly after strong storms.
Fast roof leak repair can help limit interior damage and repair costs.
