As a homeowner, you understand that regular inspections of your property are important to prevent permanent damage. This, of course, includes your Calabogie roofing.
After a storm with hail and strong winds, it is essential to look at your roof to ensure it is still intact. However, that’s not the only time you need to look. Each autumn, you should have your roof thoroughly inspected. If your roof needs repairs, it is important to have it done before the icy temperatures and snow start. If the temperatures are not within guidelines, the new roof or even the repairs will not seal properly. Some treatments, like moss or lichen, must be initiated in the fall so that they can be completed in the spring.
While it is okay for you to look at your roof from time to time and even drag out a ladder and climb a bit, for the best protection, you should have your roof professionally inspected at least once per year. If your roof is more than ten years old, this is even more critical.
Here is what you get with a professional Calabogie roofing inspection.
Structure
The inspector should look for sagging or any signs of an uneven roof. They should also look at chimneys (for cracks, grout, and damage to caps). The vents should be checked, including the flashings.
Material
Shingles should be inspected for loose, missing, curling, stains, moss, rust. Gutters and downspouts should be checked to ensure they are still secure and level.
Leaks
They will probably look at the ceilings and interior walls to check for stains and mould.
Workmanship
The last step is to be sure that the roof was installed correctly the last time, as well as any repairs that have been made in the meantime.
