After winter has come and gone, spring is the perfect time to check in on all things home improvement. Spring to-do lists often include a roof inspection because of how vital your roof is for the wellness and safety of your home. The spring storm season is right around the corner and having a healthy roof will be the best protective barrier. A roof inspection could save you time, money, and stress later in the spring season.
Here are 3 indicators that a roof inspection should be added to your to-do list.
1. Lengthy and Harsh Winter Storms
The winter season can bring harsh and lengthy storms filled with ice, snow, sleet, and cold. All of this precipitation can cause damage to your roof and its reliability and protective barrier. If your home experienced any snow, ice, or rain for a longer period of time this winter or in general, a roof inspection will put you at ease for possible leaks and damage that could come up.
2. Missing Shingles & Dents
A great indicator that it is time for a roof inspection would be missing shingles or visible dents. Sometimes missing shingles and dents are easy to spot on the roof of your home and other times they are hard to notice. Shingles that have fallen off are a great indicator that it is time to call for an inspection. During an inspection, we will check for more missing shingles and make sure the rest are secure.
3. Warped Appearance
A wavy roof is never a great sign. If you see that your roof has a wave or appears warped, this is an instant alert for a roof inspection. Wavy roofs can be caused by many things and are great evidence of an underlying problem. This could mean water damage, issues with the foundational layer of the roof, multiple layers of shingles, or an unevenness of the panels underneath.
