Sunbury Roof Inspection

When is it time for a roof inspection? Certainly, any of the following seven signs are an indicator that it’s time to give us a call: 

Leaking in the attic, walls, and ceilings:  Look for any stains, mold, or mildew on the ceiling. These are indications that something has gone wrong, and the home is exposed to outside elements. Taking proactive steps to investigate and repair any existing damage can save time, money, and stress in the long run.

Light coming into the attic: This typically indicates an issue with sealing or insulation. An experienced Sunbury roof inspection professional can identify the problem and propose an efficient solution. 

Shingles are cracked, curled, or missing: If shingles are not looking their best, it may be time to call in a professional for an inspection of the roof's structural integrity. Dirty and dingy-looking shingles are usually an indication that something is amiss and should be investigated further to protect the integrity of the roof. Taking action now is key to avoiding costly repairs down the line.

Peeling paint: This may be a sign of underlying moisture damage, so it's important to seek professional advice to ensure the integrity of a home's roof. Humidity buildup is often the cause of such issues and there may be problems with the roof’s ventilation. 

Rusted and popping nails: Temperature changes over time can cause nails in the roof shingles to pop up, potentially leading to roof leaks. The more popped-up nails there are, the greater the risk of experiencing significant roof leak issues.

Discoloration: When drywall in the home has started to crack or discolor, it is important to take the time to identify the cause of this damage before replacing it. There are several causes that can lead to water leakage, plumbing problems among them. But the roof is also a possible cause. 

After the storm: Storms that bring high winds and hail can have a devastating impact on a roof, causing unseen structural damage and compromising its integrity. Even if the roof appears to remain intact after a big storm, it is important to get it inspected by a professional in the following weeks to make sure everything is in order. Doing so can help protect a home from future harm.

Putting in an offer: Before committing to purchasing a new home, it is essential to get a roof inspection to ensure there are no looming repair or replacement costs. A small investment upfront can give peace of mind for the future.
