Your roof is susceptible to damage as it ages and is exposed to inclement weather, animals, and other unavoidable outside factors. The better your initial roof installation was, the longer your roof will last, but even the highest quality roofs will need to be repaired as time goes by. Before any repairs can be done, however, you’ll need a roof inspection. Below are a few of the top indicators that your roof may need to be inspected.
- Missing or loose shingles. You obviously can’t get a perfect view of your roof from the ground, but make sure to take a look at your roof from the ground periodically to make note of any visible damage. One common issue to keep an eye out for is loose or missing shingles. If you do notice any, you’ll want to hire a roof inspection service to identify any problem areas that need to be addressed.
- Sagging. Sagging is a major sign of something wrong with your roof, whether that be a hidden leak or even more significant structural damage. This is one of the more severe types of roofing damage that you can encounter, and it’s best to have a professional roofing contractor take a look at it as soon as possible.
- Increased animal presence. No one wants outside critters getting into their home, but damaged roofs create the perfect access point for pests to get into your attic and other areas of the home. If you’ve noticed higher animal activity on top of your roof or animals have recently started frequenting your attic, you should schedule a roof inspection.
