If you live in any of the states in New England, you know the weather can be pretty harsh during the winter. Your home roof protects your house, so ensuring it’s in great shape to prevent further damage after the winter is essential. In New England, we go through cold temperatures and face freezing ice, snow, and wind, so you can imagine how much stress the roof has to endure to keep the house safe. Here are some of the signs a roofer might find if there is an issue with your roof and what you should do about it.
Benefits of Why You Should Have Your Roof Inspected
During Springtime, roofers can check how the shingle has dealt with the cold weather and see if any lifted, broken, or missing shingles need immediate attention. If your shingles have issues, they need further investigation, as water or moisture can find their way through and cause damage to your roofing layer. Roofers should also check chimneys, roof ridges, and skylights, as these are the crucial core areas with leaks or other problems. Gutters are also essential to ensure no blockage stops the water flow in and out of gutters and away from the house. If there is an overflow, this could be caused by branches or other debris getting stuck in the gutters. If this is not taken care of, it could cause a massive problem for your roof.
Water Streaks On Your Wall
If you notice streaks coming down the wall, you need to have your roof or siding checked out. This typically happens after a heavy storm, and with spring coming around the corner, we could expect more rain to penetrate the ceilings and walls, which would cause stress to the house’s foundation.
Catch It Early Before It’s Too Late
Rather than reacting when the roof is having issues, catching the problem ahead of time can significantly reduce the repair/replacement cost. We understand roof projects are expensive. It’s an investment that is supposed to last a lifetime, so we understand homeowners are hesitant about repair or replacement and knowing if the contractor is reliable.
