4 Things to Look for During a Roof Inspection

When was the last time you conducted an inspection of your roof? You can avoid leaks, drainage problems and expensive fixes down the line by making sure your roof is functioning well. Here is a roof inspection checklist to help ensure a healthy roof. And of course we offer a free Roof Inspection so get in touch if you would like some help.

1 . Broken Tiles
It is inevitable that a roof covered with many tiles may become bent, split, wrinkled or damaged over time. Roof tiles improve your property’s appearance and functions as a waterproofing barrier to protect the integrity of your property’s structure. Inspections help inform you about whether you require a tile roof repair or roof replacement.

2. Missing Flashing or Gutters
You may be missing some integral architectural elements in your roofing system. Every roof needs a gutter system and flashing to funnel water away. If you already have these installed, you may want to check if they are damaged or poorly installed.

3. Sagging Roof
Sagging roof lines actually mean that you need a roof replacement. It may be harder to notice the uneven lines in your roof unless you look closely from across the road. Your rafters may be damaged, there may be foundational issues, or you have too many layers of roofing already in place.

4. Growing Moss
Moss thrives in dark, shady environments and can cause your roofing to deteriorate. It causes roof tiles to degrade as it retains moisture.
