Telltale Signs That You Need a Roof Inspection

The older your home is, the more likely you will need to have the roof inspected. You may notice certain tell-tale signs that show that this is a very good idea. The time to get your roof checked by a professional service is now. It’s never a good idea to wait until signs of damage begin to manifest themselves. Checking up now is the best way to save time, energy, and money.

Your Bills May Be Getting Bigger

One of the most obvious signs that your roof is in need of an inspection will arrive at the end of the month. This is the time during which your energy bill will most likely be due. As you review it, you may notice a major jump upwards. This may be due to the fact that wind, ice, sleet, and snow may be getting into your home.

The reason for this is fairly simple. Your roof may be sagging or cracking. Missing tiles may be letting the elements in. This will cause your HVAC system to work harder, thus forcing your energy bill to be higher. 

Your Home Is Getting Older

If the home you live in is more than 20 years old, chances are good that the roof has not been inspected since it was first installed. Consequently, now is an excellent time to do so. This will be all the more likely if you are noticing strange water stains on your ceilings, walls, or floors. 

Should you notice water, sleet, or snow in unexpected places, especially in your attic, this is the sign of a faulty roof. Now is the time to schedule an inspection from a professional roofing service.
