When it comes to home maintenance, sometimes the roof is forgotten. It’s not easily accessible or visible, and the old adage “out of sight, out of mind” definitely applies.
Since leaky roofs are a leading cause of water damage in U.S. homes, it’s important to inspect the condition of your roof every six months. By regularly examining its condition, you can spot problems and get the necessary repair work done before any damage to your home happens.
During your periodic exams, make sure to examine all parts of the roof. You should look for missing shingles, thinning asphalt, evidence of water damage, and buckled or curling shingles.
If you inspect your roof regularly, you should be able to catch potential problems early. In so doing, you can protect your home by making the necessary repairs before real damage occurs.
