Number of Signs You Need a Roof Inspection

[/column]

When do you need a roof inspection?

The roof is a barrier that protects you and your business from the elements of nature. A leaking or damaged roof can cave in, destroying your property and exposing your building to rain, snow and extreme weather. Throughout the year, your roof endures untold damage. Being constantly exposed to the powerful forces of Mother Nature causes deterioration and problems will begin to develop overtime. Instead of waiting for an emergency to act, ensure your roof receives routine maintenance and inspections. This will extend the life of your roof and will guarantee that your roof is capable of weathering any storm. It is crucial that you have a strong functional roof above you and we recommend having your roof inspected regularly. There are some telltale signs that it’s time to contact a professional to assess the integrity of your roof.

When It’s Been A Long Time

Because most of the damage the roof endures is progressive and incremental, it can be easy to ignore the signs of an aging roof until it’s too late. The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends scheduling a routine inspection of your roof at least twice a year, once in the spring, and once in the fall.

After a Bad Storm

When particularly bad weather occurs, it is important to inspect your roof for any sustained damage. Hurricanes, tornados, and hailstorms are some of the greatest threats to your roof. If your home has been affected by any of these calamities, it is a good idea to have a professional come take a look. A licensed roofer will know what the important signs of roof deterioration are depending on your specific roofing system. For instance, with a shingle roof it is important to note curling or dislodged shingles, while tile or slate roofs are vulnerable to broken or missing components which are significant signs of wear.

In addition to preventative maintenance, it is a good idea to contact a roofing professional if you notice any of the following:

• Shingles Missing
