A Quick Roof Damage Checklist for Homeowners Before Professional Roof Inspection

Damage to your home's roof can be detrimental to the overall structure of your house. In fact, it would be safe to say that without a roof, there is no house. Without a roof, it is just bricks and concrete walls standing alone with no prospect of providing protection. Hence, having an intact roof is essential to maintain the integrity of the house and provide protection to the residents and their belongings. 

Now,different factors can affect the integrity of the roof and call for roof repair Barrie services. For example:

• Storm damage such as hail, high winds, and more.
• Accumulation of snow, ice, and water.
• Falling debris such as tree branches or whole trees. 
• Lack of gutters, flashings, and other components.      
• Too much heat exposure. 
• Mold and mildew growth. 

To name a few! However, all of these damages will require you to call roofing contractors Barrie for roof repair services. But before the experts arrive at the scene to inspect the roof and provide you with repair services; you must assess the roof and help expedite the process. To help the inspection process, you can check the following things:

• Look for any missing shingles and spot those points on the roof to show the professional. 
• Be ready with the date and time of the damage whether it was storm damage or any other time. If you don’t know the exact time and date, give them an estimate. 
• Look for any gutters, flashings, or any other parts missing from the roof. Mark those spots. 
• Look for any water leaks in the roof. Mark those spots. Also, check how far you can see the effects of the water leaks. Is the water leakage affecting the walls or can you see water leaking inside your house?

Take any relevant photos for the assessors. Photos can give professionals a better idea of the situation. 

Having this information handy will help you provide a good picture to the professionals allowing them to conclude quickly. This will also help them provide the right roof repair services.
