For many of us, our roofs are the part of our property that we think about the least. We don’t see our roof most of the day, and when it’s functioning, it is not something that we have any need to think about or inspect. Unless we have a leak, we usually do not consider the ongoing needs of our roof.
Unfortunately, that is a mistake. By the time your roof is leaking, it usually means that there were many other problems first that went ignored, and the damage that a small leak can create can be substantial.
About Roofing Leaks
It doesn’t rain that much here in the Sacramento area, but when it rains, it pours. If you have even a small hole that hasn’t been addressed, the amount of moisture that can leak into your property can be enough to cause long lasting, potentially severe damage.
Roofing leaks, however, typically do not occur overnight. Usually, there are signs that a roof is nearing the end of its lifespan first. There may be loose shingles, or there may be decay, or there may be other visible signs of issues that a trained roofer would be able to find on their own.
For example, if you’re seeing unexplained pests on your property, that may be a sign that your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan. Unexplained pests – especially spiders – use small entranceways to get into your property, and these entranceways either are already or may be a leak.
The best way to prevent these types of leaks is, perhaps not surprisingly, with a professional roof inspection. When we provide a roof inspection on your property, we look for:
- Signs of aging tiles or shingles.
- Early signs of moisture.
- Loose roofing.
- Decay, mold, or mildew.
We examine every single part of your property in order to help determine where the next problem areas may be, and if we find any, we are able to provide roof repair and roof replacement services to help make sure that your property is not at risk of further damage.
