Leaks following heavy rains are the main reason customers call for a roof inspection. However, a new leak in the roof might just be a symptom of a more serious roof problem that, over time, could cause bigger problems such as rotting wood, toxic mold, pipe  or wiring corrosion, or wet insulation. Experienced roof inspectors can conduct a full leak investigation to stop further unseen deterioration.

Getting regular roof inspections is important for your house because it can help detect problems early and stop unnecessary further damage to your house. Roof inspectors will be able to find faults in the roof layout and suggest repairs before it may cause moisture damage to your home.

When To Repair Roof Problems

Making the right decisions about your roof ensures your home remains weatherproof for your peace of mind.

Depending on the type of roofing material used, its age may be a good indication of when to replace a roof. When the age of an asphalt shingle roof is 15 years or less, there’s a good chance that it can be repaired if it was originally installed properly. 

Replacing shingles due to wind damage or a fallen limb is a relatively easy and inexpensive. Torn or damaged shingles can be removed, and new ones can be slipped in place. The downside is that unless your roof is relatively new and you happen to have saved some spare shingles from the job, your patch job may not match the existing roof. But that is a small price to pay if the repair would extend the life of your current roof for another 10 or 15 years!

If your roof is showing signs of aging and/or has suffered significant storm damage, leaks, or other problems, it may be a good idea to consider replacing it.

Got Storm Damage?

Let Planet Roof Help You With An Insurance Claim

Roof damage claims can be difficult to process for many policyholders because roof damage is often difficult to accurately assess.

Insurance adjusters may attempt to attribute storm-related roof damage to preexisting factors or routine wear and tear. In some cases, new storm roof damage may exist but remain undetected for long periods due to the claim adjuster’s neglect to thoroughly investigate and evaluate the extent of damage.
