We rarely think about roofs. We sometimes perceive them as tires because we only think about them when we absolutely need to replace them. If we think about the roofs as often as we should, we will extend their lives.

To extend the lifespan of a roof, you need to have a professional conducting regular inspection twice a year. Once after winter and once after summer. Additionally, it is recommended to inspect the roof after any major climate event. But should roofs be inspected? How does it help? Let us look at three major reasons why your roof should be inspected:

Weathering and aging


All roofs go through normal aging and weathering. It is possible to see the effects of this process. As roofs age and weather, openings might pop up which can lead to water infiltration. If you are able to conduct regular inspections, you can identify weathered areas and plan maintenance to prevent excess damage on the roof.


Storm damage


Hail, high winds, and other weather events can damage your roof to the point that insurance steps in. Always inspect your roof after an extreme weather event. Damage from hail or winds can cause a roof replacement. A huge amount of storm damage can easily be caused by debris and material from the roof being blown by high winds. Significant damage can also be caused by tree branches falling on the roof.


Routine maintenance damage


If you do not protect your roof properly, tradespeople who are performing maintenance on air conditioners or other systems can cause damage to the roof. You will also realize that maintenance people will fail to clean up their debris. During high winds, the debris will fly inside the roof and cause damage. Regular inspection will allow you to clean the roof on a regular basis.
