Just In Time Roofing & Restoration
Have you just had a big storm in your area? If so, then it might be a good idea to call your roofer and have them come inspect your roof. Below are three signs that you should call a professional roofer to come and look at your roof after a storm.
- Visible Damage of Shingles
If your roof is a shingle roof, it’s easy to spot damage. Look for cracked, curled, or missing shingles. When there are cracks, it means the shingle’s structure is weak and might be gone when rain comes again.
- Issues with Gutters
If there’s damage to your gutter, you want to have it replaced or repaired immediately. When you don’t have a functional gutter, rainwater’s going to leach onto your building’s foot. This can cause damage to its foundation. You also want to look for shingle granules in the gutters. This means that your shingles could be eroding.
- Scratches or Dents Around Your Roof’s Features
You can see damage around the protruding features of your roof while standing on the ground. You should look closely at your chimneys’ bottom edges as well as the shingles surrounding them. You also want to look at your flashing, which seals the roof joints and fasteners that you can see, such as screws or nails which could be loose.
These are three signs it’s time to call a professional roofer after a storm. You may have more damage than you can see, and you want to have things taken care of as soon as possible.
