Complete Checking of Rooftops 

It’s very important to carry out a detailed inspection of rooftops within a reasonable time frame, so that any part of it should not left untouched. An overview of the existing condition of your rooftop will help you to understand the situation better and further help you to figure out the problems easily. So, better you made up your mind and initiate action as per feasibility.  A complete analysis, will give you an exact picture of what to do next.  

1. Check Inside 

Generally, it is observed that most of the people does not bother to spare time for maintenance of their abode either casually or due to other commitments. Such a casual approach should be avoided if we expect a good environment not only for the households but also for the surroundings.  So, a microlevel approach is necessary to maintain our house in a proper way. Hence, have a look inside of your abode and check whether you witness any dark patches or stains anywhere. If you witness any, it is confirmed that a leakage is occurred somewhere in the rooftop. Besides this, check more darker areas within the premises to confirm water leakage if any.  

Another way for checking your roof condition is ensuring if any light is passing through it.  If it happens anywhere then there is certainly a hole in your roof, which may cause further damage and needs immediate repair. In addition, don’t forget to clean your ventilation as well.  

2. Check Outside 

Now, check your roof from downwards with the surrounding as well to understand the situation better. Look for the noticeable damage in the gutters, or for the sagging roofline (if any) so that necessary steps may be taken well in time.  

3. Top view 

From top, you will get a clear picture of the roof and can easily address every single damage to the structure as well as the current condition of the rooftop. It would be better to pay special attention to roof flashing and analyse if any piece or part is missing, if yes, resort repair immediately or fix it soon otherwise missing flashing will allow the moisture to get underneath the roof and may cause structural damage. 

If you are still in doubt, hire a Professional for further assistance and give a full fledge check to your rooftops. In case of any damage found, mend it accordingly for a hassle-free living experience.
