Roof repairs are often thought about whenever we see a major leak happening in our residential or commercial roof but in all honesty, you may be in need of a roof repair without you even knowing. Because your roof is the most fundamental aspect of your home it is crucial for it to always be in pristine conditions. If your roof doesn’t have a leak, will you still be able to determine whether or not it is time for a repair? If not, this article is for you. Today we will explore in depth just how to identify roofing problems before it is too late. Here are some symptoms that something is wrong with your roofing system.
When seeking for signs of roofing issues, the first thing to do is to commence a thorough and complete interior inspection. A proper interior roofing inspection starts with you taking a trip to your attic. Once you are in the attic, look for any light shining through the ceiling or for dark trails and even water spots. If any of the previously mentioned elements are present, then you need roof repairs.
Once that has been done, you can proceed to completing an exterior inspection of your roof. An exterior inspection is a bit more complex therefore it is recommended to hire a professional roofing contractor for a roof inspection. If you still want to complete the roof inspection on your own, then this is what to look for:
- Leaking
- Discoloration
- Dark Spots
- Sagging
- Balding
- Curling
- Granules
- Missing Shingles
- Rotting
- Mold
- Stains
- Moisture
