Top 5 Things to Look for When Inspecting Your Roof.
It is important to do a walk-around of your roof each spring or after any extreme weather event.
Here are the top 5 things to look for:
1 Missing Shingles: missing shingles expose your roof deck and allow for significant future damage.
2 Damaged Shingles: cracked, torn, bald or missing shingles are a sign that your roof's lifecycle has come to an end. Replacing your roof before damage ensues could save you thousands of dollars in damages.
3 Loose Materials and Wear: Watch out for an excessive amount of shingle granules (they look like large grains of sand) in the gutters - this is a sign of advanced wear. Loose material or wear around chimneys, vents, pipes or other penetrations, require immediate attention.
4 Moisture, Rot or Mold: Note that wet spots may not be directly under your faulty shingle; water can travel down to its lowest spot before it drips. Mold, fungi and bacteria can grow quickly -- within 24 to 48 hours of a water-related problem.
5 Attic Inspection: some of the biggest telltale signs that your roof needs repair or replacement are seen from the inside. If you haven't already, get your flashlight and make a trip up to your attic space to look for places where the roof deck is sagging, signs of water damage or leaking, dark spots and trails, outside light showing through the roof.
