Before the storms

  1. Pull leaves and fluff out of every drain and canale
  2. Note any muddy rings — they mark last year's puddles
  3. Run a hand along parapet tops for new cracks
  4. Look closely at skylights, vents and the cooler or AC curb
  5. Cut back limbs hanging over the roof

During a storm

Keep off the roof while it's raining. Put buckets under any drips, photograph them and give us a call.
