When you live in Chicago your roof is the first that gets impacted by harsh windy, snowy weather. You don’t think about how important it is to have a well maintain roof until it starts leaking. Winter in Chicago is bound to be cold and snowy so most people get their roof inspected in the fall and here are 3 reasons why.
Reason 1: Detect Small Problems Early!
Usually we don’t make a big deal of a little leak but when a pile of snow covers your roof then things get a little more serious. Fall inspection will prevent small issues from becoming major problems and it’s not fun to have a pile of snow on your dinner table because the roof failed when a small issue grew much larger.
Reason 2: Energy Efficiency Reason
Everybody knows your roof keeps the cold air out and the warm air in but if there are undetected holes or you have a 3-Tab old roof you might not have ice and a weather shield and that is a big problem. Inspection will point those issues out and you will have enough time to do necessary repairs or have your roof replaced.This way your home will operate more efficiently and you will save money on energy bills because you had fall inspection .
Reason 3: Hotel For Wildlife
As the winter approaches and temperature goes down our furry friends are looking for a good place to hide and what better place than your attic. Raccoons, possums and squirrels will easily find those small cracks in your roof and take up residence under your roof. Animals can sense where heat is coming from and use sharp front teeth to turn a small hole into a gaping entryway. On Inspection an expert will find and pinpoint areas where the roof has or is about to fail. This will prevent you from turning your home into a Hotel for furry friends and save you money on repairs and exterminator.
