1. Schedule a roof inspection before the rain starts
Why this matters:
Checking the roof early helps find small problems before rain starts. This can prevent leaks, protect shared areas and homes, and avoid surprise costs.
2. Make sure drains, scuppers, and gutters are clear
Why this matters:
When drains are blocked, water can build up on the roof. Standing water often leads to leaks and damage inside buildings.
3. Keep records of inspections and repairs
Why this matters:
Written records show the HOA is taking care of the property. They also help with insurance claims and answering owner questions.
4. Watch known problem areas closely
Why this matters:
Areas like roof edges, vents, and low spots leak more easily during long periods of rain. These areas need extra attention.
5. Fix small problems right away
Why this matters:
Small issues can turn into big problems when it keeps raining. Fixing them early usually costs less and avoids emergencies.
6. Review roof warranties and maintenance rules
Why this matters:
Some damage may not be covered if inspections or upkeep were missed. Knowing the rules helps protect the HOA.
7. Limit roof access during rainy weather
Why this matters:
Too much foot traffic on a wet roof can cause damage and safety risks. Limiting access helps prevent accidents and leaks.
8. Have a simple storm response plan
Why this matters:
Knowing who to call and what to do during a leak saves time and reduces stress when storms hit.
9. Confirm contractor availability ahead of time
Why this matters:
Roofing contractors are very busy during storms. Planning ahead helps the HOA get faster help if needed.
10. Keep an eye on things during the wet season
Why this matters:
Checking conditions regularly helps catch problems early before they spread or cause major damage.
