Prolong the lifespan of your roofing system by conducting a thorough inspection annually. Crown Roofing LTD explains the things to look for when checking the condition of your roof:
• Wear or Tear – Look out for cracked caulk or rust spots on flashing.
• Damaged Shingles – Check for shingles that are curling, buckling, or blistering.
• Worn Sealing – Check rubber boots around vent pipes for cracks and signs of wear.
• Moss Growth – Moss and lichen could signal that the roof is decaying. Black algae stains are nothing to be worried about, however, as these are just cosmetic.
• Age – See if your roofing is nearing the end of its life cycle.
If you’re squeamish about heights, don’t worry. Compromising your safety to save on upkeep is never worth it. It is best to leave the inspection to the trusted Vancouver roofing company Crown Roofing LTD . There are signs that only experts can spot, and we can solve those problems while these are at the onset.
Check your Gutters
Look into your gutters to check for colored grit from asphalt roof tiles. Those granules shield the roof shingles from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays. Shedding asphalt granules is usually a bad sign, as these could mean the roof has ceased performing its primary function.
Check for Leaks
There are signs that your roof isn’t in tiptop shape that can only be visible from the inside of your home. Look for signs of a leak by checking for the following:
• Peeling paint, particularly on the underside of the roof’s overhangs
• Damp spots
• Water stains on pipes venting the furnace or water heater
• Water spots or dark areas on ceilings
