Ahh, spring is finally almost here. Now is a good time to call a roofing contractor to do a roof inspection. Below are two reasons why springtime inspections by a roofing contractor are a good idea and why you shouldn’t wait too long to have one done.
- Clogged Gutters
Remember all of those leaves that fell in the fall and winter? Chances are that they are now in your gutters and clogging them up, along with all of the other items that might have fallen. Your shingles also may have lost granules as well, which can add to this issue. If your drains and gutters aren’t cleaned out, they’ll often overflow. This can lead to structural damage and leaks.
- Damage from Wind
When the wind picks up, it can really damage your roof. Many times, the damage can be painfully obvious, like your roof completely blowing off. But there is other damage that may not be as obvious, such as shingles that have blown off. That’s why it’s a good idea to have someone come to look at in the springtime. This way you know if there’s damage that you can’t see. Because the damage that you can’t see is the one that is worst – many people think of they can’t see it that it doesn’t exist.
These are just two reasons why you want to have a local roofing contractor do an inspection of your roof this spring. The last thing you want is to have a big problem with your roof because you waited too long.
