Spring is
right around the corner and after winter in Denver, CO, it’s imperative to assess your roofing system to
ensure that it is free from damages. Hiring a professional roofing contractor is
the optimal way to safely have your residential roof inspected, however, following this roof inspection
checklist will be a great start to identifying potential injuries to your home,
roof, and its components.
Roof Inspection Checklist
Inspect
the Home’s Interior
An obvious
indication of roof damages can be found right inside the home. Check the walls
and ceilings for water marks, discoloring, swelling, or peeling. These are
signs that there is a water leak and repairs should be addressed ASAP! If you
can easily access the attic, this is another area of the home that should be
checked, as leaks will be just as obvious.
Clean
and Examine Gutters
Clogged gutters can
wreak havoc on a roofing system. Clear all gutters of debris, such as leaves
and twigs, and run a hose through each gutter and downspout to ensure they are
free of debris. Inspect the gutters to make certain that heavy snow has not
detached them from the home and look for any signs of damage to the gutter
system. If your gutters are damaged, having them repaired or replaced is
imperative to avoid excessive water damage to the property.
Inspect
the Roof
Loose
nails, missing or damaged shingles, excessive granule loss, damaged or missing
flashing, or sagging areas are just a few tell-tale signs that your roof has
been injured. Although you can safely use a ladder to check for some of these
identifiers, hiring a professional roofing contractor who is adequately
equipped and takes the necessary safety precautions is the ideal way to perform
a comprehensive roof inspection.
Check
the Chimney or Skylight
Seals
around the chimney or skylight that are falling apart can cause water leaks,
resulting in extensive damage and costly repairs. Be sure that when inspecting
the roof, you check the seals and look for any signs that the roofing surfaces
have been injured.
