Treating certain repairs as an emergency matters to restore your roof to its original good condition ASAP. However, a leak should not be your only signal to schedule a professional inspection. It is imperative to let a qualified pro take a look at your roof after a storm. Here’s why.
There Could Be Undiscovered Leaks
Finding no active leaks does not mean there aren’t any. Some signs of leakage are not apparent, especially to those without a trained eye. Furthermore, leaks rarely move in a linear direction. The water could flow several feet away from the hole or gap in the roof, making it challenging to discover its presence and trace its source.After an extreme weather event, it is better to assume there is a leak even without any proof than to expect your roof to be structurally sound based on your cursory assessment.
There Could Be Roof Damage That Will Eventually Lead to Leakage
Any experienced providers of storm damage services will attest that not all roof problems cause leakage, at least at first. A roofing system has multiple layers of protection against water infiltration so moisture can’t easily penetrate the sheathing.
Nevertheless, it is only a matter of time before minor roof issues become bigger headaches. Sooner or later, they will set the stage for leaks and increase the cost of repairs.
There Must Be Documentation of New Damage
The value of setting up a professional inspection is to add another chapter to your roof’s maintenance history. A roofer provides a report after evaluation, detailing the findings and recommended repair services if there are any problems. In the event of necessary storm damage roof restoration services, the report can be used as reliable evidence to back your insurance claim.
