Fall in Southeast Idaho is a season of change. Warm summer days give way to chilly evenings, colorful leaves, and the occasional early snowstorm. While the season is beautiful, it also brings unpredictable weather—gusty winds, heavy rain, and sudden temperature swings—that can take a serious toll on your roof.
At Resto Pro Idaho, we know how quickly the weather can shift in Southeast Idaho communities like Pocatello, Chubbuck, Blackfoot, and American Falls. That’s why this transition into fall is the perfect time to inspect your roof before winter arrives.
The Impact of Seasonal Change
-
Summer Sun Damage: Months of hot sun can weaken shingles and dry out sealants.
-
Fall Winds & Rain: Strong winds lift shingles and heavy rain exposes weak spots.
-
Leaves & Debris: Southeast Idaho’s trees shed quickly, clogging gutters and downspouts.
-
Early Snow: A sudden storm can pile snow on a roof that isn’t ready for it.
This combination makes fall the most important season to spot and fix small problems before they turn into major issues.
5 Key Areas to Inspect This Fall1. Shingles After Summer
Look for shingles that are cracked, curling, or missing—common after months of sun and heat.
2. Gutters & Downspouts
Leaves and branches can clog gutters, forcing water under shingles or down exterior walls.
3. Flashing Around Openings
Check chimneys, skylights, and vents for rust, cracks, or gaps where water can sneak in.
4. Attic Signs
Inside your home, look for water stains, musty smells, or mold—often the first signs of a roof leak.
5. Sagging or Weak Spots
If parts of your roof look uneven, water may already be damaging the structure underneath.
