Why Roof Inspections Are an Important Part of Home Maintenance | Roof Inspections Edmonton

“Out of sight, out of mind,” is a handy phrase to describe the relationship many homeowners have with their roofs. Even though the roof is one of the most important parts of your house, helping to protect everything inside from the elements, it is sometimes forgotten about and left uninspected and unmaintained.

With the turbulent weather conditions often faced by Edmonton and the rest of Alberta, it is very important to get a regular roof inspection from a qualified roofing company. Roof inspections should ideally be scheduled at least twice a year, before winter and summer, as well as after extreme weather events such as hail or heavy snow.

The Benefits of a Roof Inspection

A roof inspection is crucial for spotting signs of damage early and stopping it in its tracks. A professional roofer can check to make sure that your roof is free of potentially hazardous debris, structural deformations, broken gutters, and areas where water can pool and cause damage over time. A complete roof inspection can also spot signs of rust, rot, and leakage to the exterior structural components of a roof such as vents, fascia, drip edges, chimneys, and skylights, as well as to interior components such as trusses and rafters.

How a Roof Inspection Can Save You Money

While a roof inspection does require a modest up-front cost, it can save you thousands of dollars by preventing the need for much more expensive repairs or outright roof replacement. Minor roof problems such as leaks and cracks can cause extensive damage if left unchecked. It is always better to patch a small problem early on than to wait until it wreaks havoc on your whole roof. By preventing large-scale problems, regular inspections can greatly prolong the longevity of your roof.
