The Benefits of an Annual Home Roof Inspection

Category: Roof Maintenance • July 23, 2021

Your house is practically maintenance free, right? Especially here in Connecticut, so you never need to worry about snow removal. And if your hatchway door gets rusty? Big deal – let the next owners deal with it. Or how about if your sump pump breaks and you come home to a flooded basement? Great news – now the kids have one more place to play in the water.

If only life were that simple and home maintenance was practically non-existent. But that’s not the way the world turns, so let’s get down to the business at hand, which is this: among everything else inside and outside your home that needs looking after, your roof is one of the most important.

Let’s’ see why.

Catch Problems Early

A qualified roof inspector will uncover small problems that, if taken care of now, can usually prevent bigger problems later on. Things like missing shingles, shingles that have cracked or buckled, hanging moss or plants, and signs of improper drainage. The goal here is to make your roof last longer.

Look Out for Leaks

Leaks are the source of so many problems, like bug infestations or mold. As such, early detection is key to minimizing the damage and cost of repair. Keep in mind that water infiltration starts long before you see a water stain on your wall or ceiling.

Inspection Report

Let’s say your roof is damaged. The smart move is to have your roof inspected before filing the insurance claim. That way, you’re bound to cut through a bunch of red tape and get your money faster.

Increase Your Roof’s Life Expectancy

Roof replacement is not inexpensive, even when compared to things like repainting one or more rooms, building a new deck, or designing and planting a new shrubbery bed. Depending on what type you have, your roof should last 15 to 30 years. Annual maintenance is bound to make it last longer.
