Why would you even need a roof inspection in Indianapolis?
Your roof is your most important asset on your home. It’s the first line of defense against the weather in Indianapolis. Here’s why you should have your roof inspected by a qualified Indianapolis roofing contractor:
- A timely roof inspection can prevent huge expenses down the line. Leaks or roofing issues don’t get better as time goes on. They cause more damage. Catching an issue early may mean the difference between a roof repair and a roof replacement.
- A roof inspection helps with the insurance process if you have any damage from a weather-related event. Most insurers will request that you have a qualified roofing contractor do a roof inspection before they even come out.
What does Gemini look for during a roof inspection in Indianapolis?
It’s important that when doing a roof inspection we look at the entire integrity of the roof. Here’s a short list of items that are inspected:
- Areas where there may be a potential leak
- Animal infiltration points
- Age of roof
- Installation issues
- Hail or wind damage
- Roof flashing
- Pooling areas
- Soft decking
When is a good time to request a roof inspection?
Before pointing out some key times when you should have your roof inspected by a qualified roofing contractor, a quick answer would be “now” if you’ve lived in your home awhile and can’t remember when someone inspected your roof last. Here are some times when you should have a roofer near you inspect your roof:
- Before selling your home. We see a lot of inspection reports from the sale of homes. Nothing makes an Indianapolis buyer more nervous about their purchase than seeing some roofing issues in their inspection report. A roof inspection prior to the sale could have identified an issue and a roof repair could have been done before the inspection by the buyer.
- Before or after storm events. If you know some heavy weather is coming, it makes a lot more sense to have a roof inspection before the storm event than what it does as your roof starts to leak in the middle of the night. If the weather is strong enough (high winds or damaging hail) you almost always want a reputable roofer to perform a thorough roof inspection.
