Roof repairs and maintenance are essential parts of homeownership. The attic of your home is an important area that should be checked for potential problems. An attic inspection by professional roofers is conducted to inspect for any water damage, mold, and other issues that may compromise your home’s structure. When should you schedule an attic inspection and why?
WHEN SHOULD AN ATTIC INSPECTION BEGIN?
Before rushing to schedule an attic inspection, it’s important to understand the recommended frequency. Most roofers recommend having an attic inspection done at least once per year. This allows them to check for potential problems that could cause damage to your roof or compromise its structural integrity.
Additionally, it’s important to be aware of any signs of water damage or mold that may be caused by roofing issues. If you notice any abnormalities in the attic’s ceiling, walls, or floor, it’s crucial to have your roof inspected immediately.
RETROFIT INSULATION OR UPGRADE
Insulating your attic can make your home more comfortable, and quieter, and help reduce energy bills. Good insulation keeps your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. A roofer will inspect your attic to assess the quality and type of insulation and provide recommendations for upgrades or retrofits.
Insulation can last for more than 80 years, but it may need replacement after 10 years. A roofer can inspect your attic for any insulation damage and help you identify drafts.
PEST AND RODENT INFESTATION MANAGEMENT
Pests and rodents take advantage of weak points in your home. If your attic is not in good condition, you may hear them running around. They may also seek shelter and food in your home.
Roofers will inspect your attic for signs of pest infestation, such as nests or droppings. They will also check for any holes in the foundation and exterior walls that could allow pests to enter.
