Over time, your roof will experience a lot of wear and tear and may even cause exterior damage to seep into the inside of your home. Water leaks, excess moisture, mildew growth, and other problems can lead to issues with safety and costly repairs down the road. To avoid this from happening to your home, read our blog for everything you need to know about roofing inspections.
What to look for
When inspecting the roof of your home, there are major signs that indicate some damage has occurred. Here’s a checklist of some potential problems that you should look for:
- Your shingles are buckling, curling, or blistering
- Missing or broken pieces of shingles
- Worn down rubber boots around vent pipes
- Large masses of moss and lichen, which could be a sign that the roof is decaying
- Rust spots that are visible
When checking for these potential problems be aware that the less walking you do on your roof’s surface, the better and safer for you in the long run. If you do notice major damage, call the professionals at Armor Construction to assist with a thorough and proper inspection.
How often should you have a roof inspection?
The top of your roof is a piece of your home that you typically do not give much thought about, probably because it is not easily accessible and somewhere you do not spend a lot of time. We recommend a professional roof inspection at least once a year. Proactive inspections can warn you of serious and costly problems down the road.
Benefits of a routine inspection
A routine inspection of your roof is extremely beneficial to you as a homeowner, as it can save you money on repairs and replacements if you catch problems early. You will also keep everyone in your home safe. Here are a few benefits to having a routine inspection:
- Safety for you and your loved ones
- Helps identify potential damage
