How recently have you inspected your roof? Flooded basements and leaky roofs are the two main causes of water damage in homes. This is because many people often overlook the fact that a roof is a mechanical system.
It could appear to be a non-active aspect of your home. However, your roof performs duties that necessitate proper maintenance and routine inspections to maintain a dependable operation, just like your home's HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems. It's a functioning system that provides more than just shelter.
Your roof protects the rest of your home; it deflects rain, blocks wind and snow, and allows airflow. Exposure to environmental elements can gradually destroy the roof, which is why it requires routine inspection by a roofing professional. Roofing inspections involve examining all the roofing components on your home, including rafters and shingles. The inspection is done to ascertain how well your roof is currently doing and what needs to be done to fix any issues.
