Mine was hunky-dory . . . or so I thought.
I have a tin roof. Low-maintenance, cheap, lasts for a hundred years, intoxicating sounds when it rains, etc. Love it.
However . . . it had been a while since I dragged out the ladders and got up there for an inspection. Today I went up on the roof to retrieve a limb that had fallen and caught on a plumbing vent pipe. I was shocked to discover that the flashing had dried, cracked, and was beginning to curl away from most of the vent pipes and in places where two planes of roof meet.
If it hadn't been for that limb, I might not have gone up there for another year or so. Now I plan to do regular inspections.
When was the last time you got up there and inspected your roof?
