A quality roof inspection is beneficial for several reasons. Often, the most critical time for this service comes after a large storm. In order to file an insurance claim after your roof takes damage, most insurers require a visual inspection. While your insurer will typically send a contracted agent, it’s strongly encouraged to use an independent professional inspector who can offer an impartial assessment and the most accurate report.
Since a thorough roof inspection is vital to detecting the wear and tear a roof naturally undergoes, BullsEye Home Inspectors recommends an annual roof inspection. As the sun rises, its heat expands the material of your roof, and conversely, that material contracts when the sun sets. This constant weathering, in addition to erosion from the wind, water collection, and organic growth, can lead to costly repairs of leaky ceilings, mold mitigation, or pest infestations.
