4 Situations Where You’ll Need a Home Roof Inspection

Your roof is a huge part of your house and one of the most important parts of your home as well. The roof provides protection for the entire home. If the integrity of the roof is compromised, it could affect many other areas of the home. It’s important that you properly maintain your roof, and that means having roof inspections done. Let’s look at some situations when you should have your roof inspected.

1. Upon Moving In

If you are moving into a new house, you will want to have the roof inspected by a professional. This is necessary to make sure you aren’t buying a house that will immediately need expensive upgrades. Be sure to choose your own roof inspector too. Don’t use one recommended by the current homeowner.

2. Yearly

If you are serious about roof maintenance, you should schedule to have your roof inspected at least once or twice a year, according to AllState. This is the best way to avoid huge roof repairs. If you have your roof regularly inspected you will be able to detect issues with the roof early on. This means you will be able to have a small repair done inexpensively. However, if you ignore roof inspections, small problems can quickly turn into big problems that will cost much more to fix later.

3. Following Severe Storms

If there have been severe storms in your area lately, like a snowstorm, ice storm, or heavy winds blowing through your area, you’ll want to schedule a roof inspection. This is always a good idea following a storm to ensure that your roof isn’t damaged. If you fail to have a roof inspection done, there could be damage to the roof that you aren’t aware of. That damage could easily worsen over time and wind up being a big, expensive problem.

4. When the Roof Is Aging

If your roof is aging, you need to have a roof inspection done. The lifespan of the average roof is about 15-25 years in our experience. So, if your roof is about that old, you need to have it inspected for damage and you may need to have a new roof installation scheduled.
