Most people are likely to wait until their roof starts to leak before they start thinking about reroofing. By that time, water may have caused serious and costly damage to the interior of the home. That is why it is important to carefully inspect your roof at least once a year, especially if you own an older home or your roof was installed over 15 years ago. How do you tell if your roof is losing its protective abilities? We’ll tell you how.
The cause of a roof leak is not always easy to find, and while light colored shingles may clearly reveal trouble spots when viewed from the ground, darker colored shingles may require a closer inspection, which involves getting on top of your roof. Roofing is inherently dangerous work so please be careful when walking on your roof, especially if it has a steep pitch. If you are at all uncomfortable with heights, it is better to call a professional.
