How can I tell if my roof has a problem?

by Cascade United Roofing

The best way to tell if a roof is going to leak soon or is leaking, is to have a professional roofing contractor do a roof top inspection. They will look for cracked or missing shingles, loose or damaged seams, deteriorated or rusted flashings and excessive granule loss showing up in the gutter system.

Inside your home, keep an eye out for discolored sheetrock or ceiling tiles, flaky paint and peeling wallpaper. A yearly inspection by a professional roofing contractor is a good idea. Roof maintenance is much cheaper than the damage that the lack of it can cause.
