Time for A Roofing Inspection from Experienced Vancouver Roofing Contractor
It's easy to take your roof for granted, but in truth, regular roof inspections are a valuable investment - particularly for commercial roofs. When you rely on your roof to keep your property and everything within the building safe, proactive maintenance is always the best idea. Waiting until something goes wrong almost always means there will be damage to more than just the roof, greatly increasing overall repair costs.
Spring is the perfect time to get a roof inspection from qualified Vancouver roofing contractors. Your roof needs to be ready for the heat and extra UV rays that come with the summer.
Four Reasons to Get Your Roof Inspected by Top Vancouver Roofing Contractors
- Check for winter storm damage
In an area like Vancouver which can have frequent heavy winter storms, it's almost inevitable that some damage will have been done by the end of the season. Often, this damage is relatively minor - but that's the best time to repair it. The freezing and thawing process that occurs on a membrane roof throughout the winter can easily turn cracks and open seams into major holes in the roof by the end of summer.
- Eliminate any unwanted growth
Hot summers, particularly with humidity, greatly encourage the growth of moss, mold, lichens, and other organisms which you don't want on your roof. Besides damaging the roofing materials directly, these can easily make their way into the building itself, potentially creating health hazards. Exterminating them in the spring ensures they won't grow unchecked during the summer.
- Upholding your roof replacement warranty
This will vary depending on which roofing contractors in Vancouver installed your roof in the first place, but many replacement warranties require regular inspections to have taken place. If you've never had an inspection, then call up your contractor expecting major replacement work as part of the warranty, you could be in for an unpleasant surprise.
- Find out if you need more extensive work
Spring is one of the best times for roofing work in general, and many contractors charge less than during the heat of the summer or rains in autumn. If you do need significant repair work, it's best to get it taken care of quickly.
