Exterior problems have a habit of looking harmless until a heavy spell of rain proves otherwise. A basic check after bad weather can help identify where further investigation is sensible.
Signs to keep an eye on
Overflowing gutters, staining on external walls, obvious loose material, water where it should drain away and recurring damp marks are all worth noting. Photographs taken over time can help show whether a problem is changing.
Do not turn a small job into a risky DIY task
Roof and high-level work need proper access planning and safe equipment. If the inspection itself involves unsafe access, leave it to an appropriate professional rather than improvising a route up there.
