As winter comes to an end and springtime approaches, many homeowners may begin to see the winter effects of wear and tear on their roof. With warmer weather approaching, now is the perfect time to schedule a roof inspection in order to identify any damage before it worsens. By scheduling a springtime inspection, homeowners can avoid costly repairs and ensure their roof is in perfect condition.
Assess Winter Damage
Harsh winter weather including frigid temperatures, ice dams, heavy snowfall and strong winds can all cause damage to a roof. As a result of these conditions, gutters may become clogged, shingles may loosen or become damaged, and hidden leaks can form. Having a professional come out and inspect your roof in the springtime is a crucial part of identifying any of these issues.
What a spring roof inspection checks for:
- Damaged, warped, cracked, or missing shingles
- Clogged gutters and downspouts
- Damaged flashing around chimneys and vents
- Signs of water damage on the roof deck
- Proper roof ventilation
Extend Roof Lifespan
It is extremely beneficial to catch these issues as early as possible, and can help prevent them from developing into a much larger, and more costly issue for the homeowner. Inspections and timely repairs can extend the lifespan of a roof. Early detection can prevent further damage and save homeowners from a premature and costly roof replacement. Scheduling a springtime check-up can result in long-term savings and provide homeowners with a peace of mind.
Increase Energy Efficiency
Higher energy costs are a direct result of a roof that is in poor condition. Leaks, gaps, and damaged shingles make it harder for your home to regulate indoor temperature by allowing air to escape. Scheduling a springtime inspection will help reduce costly utility bills and improve a home’s energy efficiency.
