With the frequency of tropical storms, hurricanes and hail in Birmingham, roof inspections are a must for residents of the area and Alabama at large. You might think that if you can’t see any damage right after a storm, your roof is in the clear. But, oftentimes, it takes time for the impact of leaks through small holes to appear. Components of your roof may also be affected by regular wear and tear, including water damage, rot or rust from living in a relatively humid environment.
This is why professional roof inspections in Birmingham, AL are a must for any conscientious home owner. A licensed and insured roofer like the experts at Green Valley Roofing & Construction will help you avoid major expenses down the line by performing regular inspections and catching any warning signs before they turn into full-blown catastrophes. It is much easier to repair a small portion of your roof than to replace the whole thing.
What is Included in a Roof Inspection?
- Clear holes, leaks, and water stains: These are the most obvious signs of a roofing problem, but they may not be immediately noticeable. Water stains may also be a sign of bigger, structural problems.
- Rusted or loose flashing: The flashing is the metal placed to seal any joints or protrusions on your roof, and if it rusts, it will likely become loose over time, leading to leaks and water damage.
- Roof decking: The roof’s decking is the load-bearing part of the roof, usually made out of plywood or oriented strand board (OSB). If the decking becomes spongy or unstable, it can cause the roof to sag or collapse.
- Shingles: Broken or missing shingles can eventually cause a leak, and sometimes it’s hard to see small flaws in your shingles from the ground. Especially if you know you have a more brittle type of shingle, like natural slate, you should get your roof inspected for broken shingles regularly.
- Ventilation: If your attic is not properly ventilated, it will retain hot or cold air, which may cause your roof’s structural integrity to deteriorate over time.
- Gutters: Gutters need to be checked regularly to ensure they don’t have cracks and blockages. You should regularly clean and maintain your gutters to avoid significant issues like obstructions.
- Other roof features: A professional roofer will also inspect any chimneys, vents, pipes, skylights, etc. These are all features that stick out from or penetrate your roof, which means they are potential areas of structural weakness.
Why are Regular Roof Inspections Important?
