🌧️ February Rains Are Coming — Is Your Roof Ready?



February is one of the wettest months of the year in Orange County. And every winter, we see the same thing happen — small roofing issues that went unnoticed suddenly turn into active leaks once steady rain sets in.

At Fox Roofing Company, February is when roofs are truly tested. If there’s a weak spot, this is when water finds it.

Now is the time to make sure your roof is ready.


Why February Rains Are Hard on Your Roof

By the time February arrives, your roof has already been through months of stress:

  • Summer heat dries and weakens underlayment

  • Santa Ana winds loosen tiles and shingles

  • Debris builds up in valleys and drainage areas

  • Cooler temperatures affect sealants and flashing

When consistent rain arrives, water doesn’t create problems — it exposes them.


Common Roofing Problems We See During February Rains

1. Slipped or Broken Tiles

Even one shifted tile can allow water to reach the underlayment.

2. Aging Underlayment on Tile Roofs

Many Orange County tile roofs reach this stage after 20–30 years.

3. Clogged Valleys and Gutters

Leaves and dirt trap moisture and force water under the roofing system.

4. Flashing Separation Around Chimneys and Walls

These areas take the most water during heavy rain.

5. Interior Leaks That Appear Suddenly

Light stains or dripping often show up after the first strong storms.


Why It’s Smart to Act Before the Rains Hit

Waiting until leaks appear usually means:

  • Emergency repairs

  • Interior damage

  • Higher repair costs

  • Limited scheduling availability

A roof inspection before February rains gives you time to address small issues before they turn into expensive problems.


Get Ahead of the February Weather

If your roof is older, hasn’t been inspected recently, or has shown any signs of wear, now is the right time to have it checked.

A professional evaluation from Fox Roofing Company gives you clear answers, photo documentation, and honest recommendations — without pressure.
