Roof Inspection

Getting a roof inspection is a great way to know whether you need maintenance or repair work before you have an expensive problem on your hands. Properly maintaining your roof, that is, performing timely repairs and regular preventative maintenance, can greatly improve the longevity of your roof and postpone the expense of a brand new roof for years. Moisture damage in your roof is cumulative, meaning that the longer moisture is allowed to collect or seep through your roof, the more damage it does and the more expensive repairs will be. When it comes to maintaining your roof, the old saying "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" definitely applies.

Why do I need a roof inspection?
A roof inspection will give you a great idea of the state of your roof. We'll be able to find potential problems before they become expensive damage, locate weak areas in your roof that could use fortification, and let you know how long you can expect your roof to last. A roof inspection is an important part to a complete plan for the maintenance and protection of your building. Once you know about some of the weak areas or potential problem areas of your roof, it's up to you to decide whether you want to take care of them right away or wait until there's a more pressing need. Our roof inspection service is a great way to get a handle on your roof's status and begin to plan for the future of your building.

What could be wrong with my roof?
Your roof has a natural lifespan and some natural susceptibilities to particular types of damage. A checkup is a great way to get some insight on what you should be paying special attention to and where you may want to invest some preventative maintenance.

Weather damage
Weather damage is a normal part of every roof's life. Between the constant exposure of your roof to the sun, frequent changes in its temperature, and its intermittent exposure to rain and evaporation, your roof is bound to sustain some damage from the weather. While weather damage is a natural occurrence in any roof, a roof inspection can determine if some reinforcement or patching could prevent damage that may lead to leaks or moisture damage.

Storm damage
Storms are well known for causing damage that lead to leaks. Between hail, flying debris, falling branches or trees and high winds, there's no telling what a storm could do to your roof. It's important to get a roof inspection after any serious storm to ensure that your roof has made it through unscathed. If any tears, punctures or leaks are found in your roof directly after a storm, fixing them immediately will prevent the accumulation of damaging moisture in your building - which can mean the difference between cost effective preventative maintenance and expensive disaster recovery.

Snow and ice damage
Snow and ice can damage your roof over time, too. If any cracks or abrasions have formed in your roof, when water seeps into them and subsequently freezes, it will expand and cause those cracks or abrasions to grow. Much like with other cases of potential damage, preventative maintenance is far more cost effective than full scale repairs. Preventing serious damage from snow and ice can be as simple as patching areas of your roof that appear to be worn with a durable sealant.

There's no need to risk the necessity of disaster recovery or even a new roof when preventative maintenance is often all you need to add years of life to your roof. Give us a call today for your roof inspection to get the upper hand on all of your roof's natural enemies.
