The Top 5 Signs to have Your Roof Checked by a Charlotte Roofing Contractor

Ever had those neurotic moments about your roof? Constantly asking yourself the following questions:

“Is my roof okay?”
            Or

“Is that a water drop? Is my roof leaking?”

            Or

“Did my roof withstand the last hailstorm the other week?”

If you’re quite unsure and you think that you may have a roof problem or an impending problem then stop the nagging in your head and call your your favourite Charlotte roofing contractor. It wouldn’t hurt to call them anyway since it’s for you and your roof’s own good.

But just that so you know there are five important signs to look out for that will give you the signal to call your roofing contractor.

First and foremost, the roof deck is populated with water stains. You can check this out when you go up to your attic and check your roof’s underside. And check also the plumbing pipes and vents for leaks. Plus, if a ray of sunlight is peeping through the roof then it obviously has a hole and needs to be sealed.

Another sign to call your roofing contractor is when you notice that the gutters are quite loose. Your roofing contractor can easily fix or replace the gutter.

Shingles that are missing or damaged is also another reason to call your roofing contractor since the National Roofing Contractors Association requires the replacement of damaged roof shingles to prevent further damages to the house. It’s a mandate that is very beneficial to every homeowner’s safety.

If winter had been extra harsh in your locality then you would expect some heavy ice build up in your roof. This could damage your roof as well as the gutters.

And lastly, you better consult your roofing contractor when you notice that your yard is always damp even if it didn’t rain for a while. It could be coming from a blocked or damaged gutter.

For more information, and just to make sure and have peaceful sleep, you better consult and have your roof checked by a Charlotte roofing contractor.
