When storms unleash their fury, the vulnerable areas of your home, like your roof and gutter system, often bear the …
Ask any roofing professional how frequently you should inspect your roof, and they’re going to tell you at least twice a year (in addition to before and after storms). We’re no different. Keeping close tabs on your roof helps you spot issues early so you can prevent bigger (and more expensive) problems down the road. But what exactly should you be looking for when it comes to your roof?
Here are a few things Austin homeowners should be looking for between calls to their professional roofer for a more thorough inspection. It’s worth mentioning that much of this can be done from the ground with a good pair of binoculars. Climbing on roofs is dangerous and it can potentially damage your roof. Always take caution and leave the more treacherous aspects of the job to a professional.
As you scan your roof, take note of things like where the sun most frequently beats down on it, if there are nearby trees with overhanging branches, and any other weather-related signs worth noting. Here in Central Texas, our roofs must handle it all, so keeping a close eye on it when the weather is good can help you make sure it’s in a strong position for when the weather might not be so good.
