Why Do Metal Roofs Need Inspections?
If you’re like most people who installed a metal roof, you chose this option for its powerful performance and low maintenance. Some of our metal roofing clients wonder why they need roofing inspections in the first place. This is a smart question that we’re happy to address.
Here at Iron Shield Roofing, we love metal roofs for the same reasons that you do. These systems are durable, dependable, and can provide decades of unbeatable service. However, it’s still possible for metal roofs to take damage during their lifetime. Explore the most common metal roofing problems we find during our inspections and contact our Edmonton team today to get help and ensure your roof is in great condition.
Why Schedule Metal Roof Maintenance?
Extreme Storm Damage
Your metal roof provides some of the most comprehensive weather protection on the market. Metal systems have solid steel cores that resist typical Canadian weather patterns, including UV damage in the summer and snow and ice in the winter. Your roof will keep you safe, warm, and dry nearly all of the time.
However, truly extreme weather can damage even a metal roof. Tornados, unusually large hail, and once-in-a-century blizzards all impact the strongest buildings. If your home or office is damaged in a severe weather event, a roofing inspection will help guide your next steps. We can help you determine if your roof escaped unscathed or if you need repairs.
Major Impacts
Metal roofs are resilient thanks to their steel base. Shingles and panels also feature multiple layers of protective coating for an even stronger product. As a result, your metal roof can withstand hail, foot traffic, and other standard impacts without taking any damage.
However, extreme impacts can still damage your building. Fallen trees or broken branches are a risk that can impact your home. Tree branches may snap or break during storms that wouldn’t otherwise damage your roof. Tornadoes are another source of air-born debris. If a tree or other large object lands on your home during a storm, call Iron Shield Roofing for an immediate inspection. Timely inspections help you learn the extent of the damage and prevent further problems.
Aging Materials
You’ll enjoy a long lifespan from your metal roof. These systems last much longer than other roofing options such as asphalt or wooden shingles. A metal roof will outlast most other options on the market. But unfortunately, no roof lasts forever. Any metal roof will start to show signs of age after decades of use.
Regular inspections are a smart way to extend your aging roof’s lifespan. Iron Shield Roofing can help identify problems as they arise. We’ll build a robust maintenance plan to help you get the most out of your roof and keep it in place as long as possible.
Structural Damage
Your metal roof may be in great condition, but you’ll still face problems if there’s structural damage throughout the rest of your home. Houses are systems, so problems in one part of your home can show up as symptoms throughout the building. You might be struggling with your foundation, flooring, walls, plumbing, or other parts of the home. Our inspections can help you identify or rule out issues with your metal roof so you can start taking action on the real issue.
