What to Look for When you Inspect your Roof?

Before you climb a ladder and inspect your roof on the outside, inspect first the inside of your home. If there are signs of leakages like water marks on your ceiling and walls, it is possible that your roof has holes. Look up at the ceiling and see whether there are molds forming. It is also a sign that water has been stocking on that moldy part. Climb into your attic and look for the same signs. If there are signs of dampness in the area, the roof is likely damaged.

After checking the inside, it is now time for you to climb on the roof itself. First, look for the roof hazards. If there are any stock up leaves, debris and looming branches of trees, they should be removed. Next, you should look for any broken or loose part of your roof. If there are missing tiles or shingles, cater to it immediately. Also, look for rusts and molds. If these would be ignored, your roof will form a hole. If you are not quite sure on what to look for, call professional roof inspectors.
