How to Tell When You Need a New Roof?

Think you may need a new roof but are not definite? Below is a do-it-yourself roof inspection guide for homeowners to use to figure out whether a new roof is or is not needed. This guide will focus on three main points:

Performing a roof check on the interior of your home
Performing a roof check on the exterior of your home
And, last but not least what to do if you do in fact identity roof damage

Performing a Roof Check on the Interior of your Home

As you may have guessed, the best way to evaluate the condition of your roof from inside your house is the attic. If you do not have adequate lighting in your attic be sure to bring a flashlight. That said your first sign you are looking for does not require a flashlight. In fact, it requires complete darkness. Your 1st test is to look around to see if any light is shining through the roof boards. 2nd, check for dark stains or dark streaks on the ceiling or underside of your roof. Generally, dark stains come from a leak in the roof leading to moisture buildup in your attic. Moisture will eventually lead to not only damage to the roof but also the interior structure of your home. 3rd, look for any sagging areas. The 4th step in the interior roof process involves looking for obvious signs of leaks and water damage.

Performing a Roof Check on the Exterior of your Home

Now that you are all finished inspecting your roof from the interior of you house, it is time to perform a roof check on the exterior of your house. It is important to remember that if you did not find any damage while you were looking around in the attic does not mean your roof does not have any damage on the other side. Inspecting your roof from the outside is a great way to identify small imperfections that could eventually lead to bigger headaches down the road.

It is worth noting that while an exterior roof check should be performed on a somewhat regular basis, this can often be dangerous especially without the right equipment. So, please do not hesitate to call in a professional. Below are some things to look for:

noticeable dark streaks and stains
obvious sagging areas
signs of rotting, splitting, or decaying tiles/shingles
extreme accumulation of moss and algae
missing shingles
high amounts of shingle granules in the gutter
damages to the chimney and roof flashing
damages to the valleys

What to do If You do in Fact Identity Roof Damage

At the end of the interior and exterior roof inspections make sure to take specific notes and photographs to share with a professional roofing expert. Do yourself a favor and take care of the issues sooner rather than later. If you need an inspection repair estimate call a local roofing contractor. Most will offer free inspections so you have nothing to lose.
