Some homeowners know the importance of a dependable roof but many forget about it altogether until there is an emergency such as a leak, and then they have to contact a local Lafayette roofing contractor for repairs. Small problems will only get worse and can eventually lead to an entire roof replacement, interior damage, and structural deterioration when overlooked for too long. To deter these kinds of issues it is advised to get an inspection at least once a year and after any major weather events.
The Domino Effect
Damage usually starts from normal wear and tear from the elements, and progressively worsens with each season. Savy homeowners make it a part of their seasonal home maintenance list. Binoculars are a great way to look at your roof if you do feel safe getting up there on your own, and can help you catch any obvious problems such as missing or cracked roof tiles. However, a trained and licensed professional knows exactly what to look for and will have a much better perspective to asses any damage.
Here are some roof problems that can begin the downward spiral when neglected:
- Cracks or openings that could allow moisture to enter
- Broken or cracked vent pipes/boots
- Shingle deterioration; rotting, cracking, curling, warping, blistering etc.
- Missing shingles
- Broken or missing flashing
- Missing or broken chimney caps
Just one missing or broken shingle is Roof Damage!!!
