One of the worst things that can happen in your home is finding an unexpected leak coming from your roof followed by water damage as a result. Fortunately, you can avoid such surprises and the sudden need for major repairs by staying aware of the condition of your roof and catching any damage or signs of damage early on, so you can resolve the issues before they become more extensive and affect the rest of your home. You can achieve this with the help of regular roof inspections. Here are some tips on when to schedule a roof inspection.
- At least once a year: It’s recommended to schedule a roof inspection at least once a year. This can allow your roofer to identify and resolve any existing issues or warning signs of potential damage before the issues become more extensive.
- After a severe storm: If there was a severe storm with heavy rainfall or strong winds recently in your area, you may consider scheduling a roof inspection. Even if your roof is perfectly fine, it can give you peace of mind to know that your roof didn’t suffer any damage from the storm. If it did sustain damage, the inspection can help identify and resolve the issues before they have the chance to get worse, and the findings could also be used for an insurance claim.
- You suspect roofing damage: Even if you only suspect your roof has been damaged in some way, it can be beneficial to schedule a roof inspection. Whether your suspicions were right or wrong, we can inform you of our findings and provide the necessary solutions for any signs of damage we find.
- Before buying or selling a home: It’s always best to schedule a roof inspection for a prospective property before buying or selling a home to ensure you are fully aware of the condition of the roof and prepared for any necessary repairs or replacements. Any findings from the inspection could also be used as negotiating power in the closing on the home.
