3 Reasons to Get a Roof Inspection
Roof inspections are necessary for examining the state of your roof and alerting you to any repairs or replacements needed, especially after hail, wind, or storm damage. Here are a few situations that call for a roof inspection.
1. Aging
Since roofs are constantly exposed to the elements, they wear and tear over time. A roof should last 30 to 50 years, and regular inspections can help the structure retain its visual appeal and performance while meeting or exceeding its expected life span.
2. Harsh
Roof inspections can be highly beneficial after a storm or hail. While some storm damage, like leaks or broken shingles, is easily identifiable, an assessment will help you find hidden issues and get to the source of the problem.
3. Drainage
Accumulating debris, trash and leaves can clog your drainage system and cause water to pool on your roof. The buildup can go unnoticed, leading to leaks and moisture damage. A roof inspection can help identify the objects needing removal and ensure proper drainage.
How Long Does a Roof Inspection Take
A roof inspection usually takes anywhere between 30 minutes to several hours. The exact duration will vary depending on your roof’s size, type and condition. Another factor that may influence the length of time is accessibility. If your roof is not easily accessible, the assessment can take longer to complete.
