Brian Dawson Roofing & Construction, based in Wentzville, Missouri, wants to stress the importance of having a roof inspection now that spring storms have arrived. This is because damaged or older roofs will have a greater chance of being damaged by a storm. By having the roof inspected and having repairs on the roof done promptly, homeowners would be able to prevent more expensive roof damage and repairs later on. The company provides roof inspections, repairs, and total replacement in Wentzville and neighboring areas.
Laura Cameron, a spokesperson for Brian Dawson Roofing & Construction, says, “Roof inspections determine the integrity of a roof, how long it may last, if it needs repairs and when it will need to be replaced. Roof inspectors have special procedures wherein they can determine the lifespan of a given roof without ripping it apart. Roof inspections are important because they help prevent major problems from occurring. If roof inspections aren’t regularly performed, serious problems can develop, leading to leaks and damage to the interior of your home or business.”
According to the National Roofing Contractors Association, it is advisable to have the roof checked at least two times a year, during the fall and spring, when the weather is milder. This will allow the homeowner to know if there are any potential problems of the roof that need to be addressed. The roof has to be inspected also after the occurrence of a significant weather event.
Homeowners can periodically inspect their roofs to familiarize themselves with its structural elements, which will allow them to easily recognize problems before they become worse and expensive roof repairs are needed. People can start the inspection of their roofs from the ground or in the attic by using binoculars. Things that they need to look for include patches of algae, moss and lichen; cracked, loose, or rusted gutters; piles of leaves, branches or other large debris; curling, broken, or missing shingles; cracked or curling caulk or sealant; cracked, worn or peeling plastic rubber boots around pipe other other roof projections; missing or damaged chimney cap; rusted or cracked metal pieces around the chimneys and vent pipes; missing or crumbling chimney mortar; and indications of moisture in the attic and rafters.
If the DIY roof inspection unravels issues that can easily be solved, such as nailing down loose shingles, getting rid of debris, or unclogging gutters, homeowners may be able to do it. However, for people who are afraid of heights, have noticed that the problem cannot easily be resolved, or want to make sure that the work is properly done, it would be best to call on the roofing experts to inspect the roof and make the necessary repairs. A lot of roofing companies are willing the provide free or low-cost inspections.
A roofing expert will inspect the ceilings and attic and proper ventilation, proper insulation, and moisture and mold. Roofing professionals will also provide advice on leaks; ice dams; the condition of the roof shingles; chimney work and gutters; and proper flashing of valleys, dormers, eaves, sidewall, and rakes. When inspecting the roof, roofing professionals will provide the homeowner with important details. These include hail damage; wall or chimney flashing condition; condition of the chimney cap or flue cap; penetration pipe boots or sealant; condition of attic vent; granule loss/ blistered/ curled shingles; high nails; and uneven surfaces or soft decking.
They can also provide advice on whether the roof needs to be replaced instead of repaired. There are a number of warning signs such as age, moss or algae, damaged deck, wear and tear on the flashing, storm damage, and bald looking shingles. If the inspection reveals that the roof is beyond repair, it will have to be replaced. Brian Dawson Roofing & Construction has been replacing roofs since 1999 and have developed the reputation of offering affordable options.
