Having your roof inspected on a regular basis is one of the best things you can do to minimize roofing damages by identifying problems before they worsen. Our top priority during a roof inspection is to make sure no concerns go unaddressed and no issues go ignored, so we make sure to be thorough when examining all of the parts of your roof. Below are three of the most common problems we look for during a roof inspection.
- Shingle damage. Asphalt shingles are sturdy when installed correctly, but that doesn’t mean they’re invincible. Over time, it’s common for shingles to get damaged by severe weather, wildlife interference, and other outdoor elements outside of your control. Shingle damage, including missing shingles, is one of the most common types of roofing damages, and while it may not seem like much of a big deal, it’s important to address these damages sooner rather than later. Damaged shingles allow for water damage and other issues for the roof underneath them.
- Clogged ventilation. Adequate ventilation is crucial both for your roof’s wellbeing as well as your attic’s wellbeing, which can quickly develop a mold problem without consistent airflow. Ventilation can get blocked, and since you likely don’t go into your attic or check on your roof by yourself, you may not notice this problem until it’s worsened significantly. That’s why we check for ventilation issues during a roof inspection.
- Sagging. Sagging is a major roofing concern more commonly seen in older roofs or after a particularly bad storm. Structural instability is a safety problem that should never go ignored, so if we notice sagging or other structural concerns, we’ll make sure to stress the importance of having them repaired.
