It can be a real pain when you want to find all the damage
on your roof only to realize later on that 2-3 more leaks arose seemingly out
of nowhere, and you have to get back on your ladder and find out where exactly
they originated.
While the easy way out is to call in the pros and organize a
complete roof inspection, that’s not always necessary. You can also consider
the following tips of spotting illusive roof damage more easily:
·
First, regarding leaks: they are not always the
result of visible cracks and damaged shingles or flashing. They can also come
from a damaged underlayment that has to be addressed before it causes more
problems. To track where it is, simply track the exact location of the leak by
looking through your attic’s walls and ceiling.
·
Roof damage is also not always very obvious.
Instead of just looking around from one position, get a sturdy safety harness,
and walk around the roof, paying special attention to the areas around the
flashing and chimneys.
·
Finally, make sure you look closely at any
cracked shingles that might have been damaged by hail. They could have been
loosened, so they can easily come off on a windy day. It’s a good idea to
have professional Panama City roofing companies replace cracked shingles before any more problems arise.
