Taking Good Care of Your Roof:

Like your own body, your home’s roof needs regular care and maintenance. Just like your body needs a check up to alert you to other more serious issues, your roof needs regular inspections to identify current problems and prevent potential costly future repairs. Your home’s roof is battered, weathered, and under constant assault. A regular inspection can help you keep your roof in place longer, saving you thousands of dollars for other uses.

Regular Inspection is Key:

Roofs that are regularly inspected and maintained can outlive uninspected homes by 10-20 years. Your inspections should occur at least twice a year; these inspections should be done before the season with the most severe weather and again after the season. The severe season is typically winter months in the north and summer months in the south. The inspection will be visual and, in some cases, may include a full moisture survey. You want to check the roof before the severe season to prepare the roof for the tough season to come and again after that season to determine how the roof faired through those months.

Expert Advice:

While a visual inspection is fine, you should periodically employ a moisture survey. These surveys measure the properties of roofing materials that change when water is present. There are three types of surveys including an infrared scan measuring heating retention and loss thorough the insulation; a nuclear isotopic meter measuring the density of water present in the roofing material via counting hydrogen ions; and electrical capacitance and resistance meters measuring the ability of roof materials to conduct electricity.

These testing methods are powerful, but are not applicable to all situations. Work with a roofing expert to determine the appropriate testing approach for your own home. Visual inspections and moisture surveys can help you determine the state of your roof and what repairs or replacement strategies are necessary. The care you put into your roof pays you back by keeping your family safe and secure.
