Your home is meant to protect you and your family from different weather conditions and other natural elements. Your roof and siding are your home’s primary defenses against these elements, so every component is regularly maintained to ensure they stay in good condition throughout their expected lifespan.
However, in almost any type of residential roofing system, there will be components that are most vulnerable to the elements. By hiring trusted professionals such as Deschutes Roofing, they’ll check each component of your roof thoroughly for signs of damage. They’re mostly found in two major areas:
The Roof Exterior
Your roof’s exterior consists of several components that work together to keep out water and other weather elements. Common signs of roof damage include loose shingles/fasteners, popped nails, and unsecured flashing. Don’t attempt a DIY inspection as you won’t guarantee whether you can spot every sign of deterioration or damage on your roof.
It’s usually better to work with a residential and commercial roofing contractor who can inspect for you. They must be checked by a professional regularly, after all, to keep the warranty intact. They’ll do a thorough inspection of your roof’s exterior, including the ridge vents and eaves that are susceptible to leaks and damage over time if not properly maintained.
The Attic and Ceiling
It’s also important to check your roof’s inner structure for any sign of rot, leaks, or other types of damage. On the ceiling and walls below your attic space, they’ll also look for clues of leaks such as water stains as they may indicate damage to your vents and insulation. They’ll also know how to identify and address signs of water damage such as mold, rotted wood, and water rusted nails.
