When, Why, and How to Schedule a Roof Inspection Professional

Apr 18

As a homeowner, you understand the importance of maintaining your property – which includes keeping up with the roof. Regular roof inspections can help you save money on pricey repairs caused by minor roof damage, but how do you know when to schedule one (and how to execute it)?

This article will explain when, why, and how to book a professional roof inspection with Roofing Las Cruces.

When Should a Professional Roof Inspection Be Scheduled?

If you see any damage to your roof or notice leaks inside your house, don't delay — contact a roofing professional immediately. Your roof is the first line of protection against storms and other severe weather occurrences, and if it is damaged, the rest of your home is also at risk.

Under normal circumstances, such as when no significant hail storms, high winds, or other weather events have occurred, and when everything is operating normally at home, you should get your roof inspected each year. You may even check it yourself if there are no issues with it.

However, there are certain major warning signals that indicate you should contact a roofing professional immediately.

Roof Inspection Warning Signs

If you see any of the following, you should schedule a roof check immediately:

A roof deck that is drooping. While many roofs have varying degrees of pitch, all lines should be fairly straight. If any lines appear to be drooping, this might suggest a serious condition that has to be addressed immediately.
Algae development. While algae development alone is not indicative of roof repair, it does indicate that moisture is present on your roof. This often manifests as black blotches or streaks.
Shingles that have been damaged. If you have missing shingles or shingles that are cracked, curling at the corners or edges, or seem "bald" due to granule loss, restoring them can save you a lot of money. You should contact a professional roof inspector to determine the extent of the damage.
Internal leaks in your home. If your roof is leaking, you should call a professional to inspect the damage before it worsens.
From the attic, light shines through. If light can in, bugs, water, and other undesirables can as well. You'll need to contact a roofing specialist immediately to make repairs.
Granules of shingles in your gutters. When you discover shingle particles in your gutters, this indicates that the condition of your roof is deteriorating. Those granules are designed to ward off the elements and safeguard your home – and if they come away from your shingles, the shingles will be unable to perform their function.
