Key Questions to Ask During a Roof Inspection

It’s essential to schedule routine roof inspections to keep your roofing unit in optimal condition. You should also take this opportunity to ask questions about your roofing system during an inspection and maintenance session so that you can fully understand how your roof is doing. Your trusted roof repair expert shares some of the best questions you can ask here.

“Is the Ventilation in Good Condition?”

Your roofer will tell you that attic ventilation is very important and its impact on your roof’s condition cannot be underestimated. The ventilation system will keep moisture out of your home and will draw in fresh air so that it can circulate around your living space. If there is poor or faulty ventilation, your home could face moisture-related problems like mold and mildew growth which can cause respiratory complications. Try to ask your roofer if your vents need to be swapped out as well.

“How Old Is My Roofing System?”

Ask your roof replacement contractor this question if you’ve bought your home from a previous homeowner. This is because you aren’t certain of the roof’s age and condition. Keep in mind that the average asphalt shingle roof can last for around 20 to 30 years, depending on the installation methods used, material quality, and maintenance schedule. When they assess this, you can tell when you’ll need to have a roof replacement.

“Are There Urgent Issues That Need to be Fixed?”

After the inspection is done, your roofer will give you a breakdown of the things that they found out about your roofing system. They will tell you if there are any concerning things that need to be addressed immediately. If there are any, do not hesitate and have it fixed right away.
