INSIDE ROOF INSPECTION

Do you need a new roof? It can sometimes be tough to determine just why your inspector says a new roof is necessary, but there are a few simple signs to look for.

Continue the inspection from inside, where there is a whole new set of problems to look for. The obvious leak is not hard to miss, but there are warning signs you can look for that may help you stop a problem before it reaches the critical stage. These include:

Signs of water damage or leaking (usually in the form of water stains, or sagging ceilings) this could be from either an active leak in the roof or due to collected condensation caused by poor ventilation.

If you find a dark spot on your wood, test it to determine if it is old or a new problem. If the spot is still wet, or if it is soft when you press a screwdriver to it, the spot is a current problem. If it is dry and hard, the problem has already been taken care of and you do not need to worry more about it.

Signs of leaking in the attic. This could include dark spots in the wood, especially around vents, chimneys, and other holes to the roof, or stained drywall/ceiling tiles if your attic is finished.

Outside light that can be seen from the attic. On any other type of roof however, seeing the sky through your roof is not a good sign.

If any of the above signs are present in your roof, inside or outside, you need either repairs or a new roof. It will be up to you to decide, depending on the degree of damage, what is going to be best for you and your home. Sometimes it is less expensive to pay for a new roof than to deal with fixing the damage from an old, continuously patched roof. Whatever you decide, the time has come when you must contact contractors, review estimates and learn what to expect during your roof project.
