High winds and hail could wreak havoc on your roof! After experiencing a heavy storm, you put your home at risk if you don’t get an inspection. It is impossible to see a roof’s full scope of damage from the ground.
How can you be sure that your roof is in proper working order after a storm? A roof inspection with Roof Pros, of course! Continue reading to learn why a roof inspection after a significant storm is so crucial.
Loose and Damaged Shingles
If a storm damaged your shingles, your roof would be vulnerable to further damage. Shingles act as a barrier against the elements. This barrier needs to stay intact for it to work correctly. High winds can loosen shingles, leaving gaps that water can seep through. Hail puts dents into shingles that can be hard to identify with an untrained eye. Over time, these dents turn to holes that let water through. We will be able to assess damage through our inspection process. A preventative inspection will prevent costly repairs due to leaks later on!
Damaged Gutters Are Less Effective
When high winds and hail dent, warp, or crack gutters, they cannot function properly. The purpose of gutters is to keep water off and away from your roof. This essential function needs to continue to prevent water from collecting and causing leaks. A professional roof inspection will be able to identify whether your gutters are in good shape.
Prevention Is Less Expensive!
Your home might have been spared from extreme damages directly after a storm. However, even minor issues left unattended can develop into major repairs!
