BCS Roofing recommends self-inspecting your roof indoors and outdoors on a regular basis. Noticeable changes in your roof or ceiling may be a sign that your roof is ready for a professional inspection.
Here are the most obvious indications that your roof needs attention:
- Is your roof missing shingles or are the shingles curling up or cracking?
- Your shingles may be starting to wear when they begin to release coarse sand like granules when it rains.
- Discoloration or stains on your ceilings may mean that your roof’s underlayment is allowing moisture to seep in.
It is important to contact a professional in a timely manner to avoid costly damage. Early detection can save you money in the long run. A professional will help you determine if your roof needs a quick fix or substantial work. Even if you end up needing a new roof, waiting too long can cause moisture, mildew, and mold issues that can be costly to repair.
