The official hurricane season in Florida is June through November, and this is usually when a significant amount of damage is done to roofs in the Space Coast Area. However, significant rainfall and heavy winds at any time can greatly damage a roof. Whatever the season, roof inspections are essential for the early detection of roofing issues.
The most common issues that can develop on a roof include:
When these issues are left to develop, they can result in costly roof repairs and significantly decrease the lifespan of a roof. With a regular roof inspection, there’s no need to worry about any hidden roofing issues. Should any damage be found during the inspection, the property owner will be able to make an informed decision about how to proceed before the issues worsen.
How a roof inspection is carried out varies based on the roofing company. A roof inspection will involve an evaluation of both the exterior and interior. On the outside of the building, the inspector will check for leaks, chimney damage, or signs of rotting or sagging. The condition of the soffits, fascia, and gutters should also be examined. Inside the structure, ventilation and insulation are a couple of the key components that will be checked. The inspector will also look for signs of mold or rotting, as well as any buildup of moisture or condensation. If any issues are spotted on either the interior or exterior, the roofing company will suggest ways to deal with them.
While there are seemingly more pressing concerns than considering the condition of a roof, putting off a roof inspection can result in a sudden issue that could have been prevented if spotted early on. The key is to play it safe and not wait until it’s too late to have a roof inspected.
