Is Your Roof Putting Your Homeowner’s Policy at Risk? ‍Don’t Be Rejected, Get Inspected!

Has your insurance company warned you about canceling your homeowner’s policy because of your roof? Many carriers closely review roofs that are 15 to 25 years old, even if they are not actively leaking. If your insurer believes your roof is too old or shows visible wear, they may require documentation, repairs, or full replacement to maintain coverage. Before you risk losing protection, schedule a professional roof inspection in the Poconos with the experts at Kanga Roof. A thorough evaluation can provide the documentation your insurance company needs and determine whether roof repair is necessary.

Professional Roof Inspections

At Kanga Roof, we understand how important it is to keep your roofing system in good shape. As an experienced roofing contractor in the Poconos, we conduct roof inspections that evaluate all major roof components, including shingles, flashing, ventilation, and decking. We also assess the overall structural integrity of the roofing system to determine whether repairs or maintenance could extend its service life. If there are concerns, we will explain them clearly and outline the next steps. Acting early can prevent policy issues and reduce the likelihood of more extensive roof repairs down the road.

Common Roofing Problems

Your roof shelters you from the elements, contributes to curb appeal, and insulates your home. However, as your roof is constantly exposed to wind, rain, heat, and temperature fluctuations, it can be susceptible to damage. A roof inspection can detect early signs of wear and common roofing problems, such as:

• Damaged or missing shingles – Shingles safeguard your home from water intrusion. High winds, storms, and sun exposure can cause shingles to crack, curl, or detach, leaving your home vulnerable to structural damage. Timely roof repair restores that protective barrier.
• Roof leaks – Water may enter through damaged shingles, compromised flashing, or aging sealants, damaging the roof deck and attic insulation. Prompt roof leak repair in the Poconos prevents wood rot, interior water damage, and structural deterioration.
• Poor attic ventilation – Inadequate ventilation can trap heat and moisture. Over time, condensation can damage decking and encourage mold growth. Proper intake and exhaust ventilation help preserve roofing materials.
• Ice dams – Ice dams form when snow melts and refreezes along roof edges, and trapped water can back up and seep into your home. Proper insulation, ventilation, and drainage reduce the risk of ice dams.

Homeowners should have their roofs inspected annually to address minor issues before they escalate. Inspections are also important after storms, as high winds and heavy snow can affect your roof. A post-storm evaluation confirms whether roof repair is needed and provides documentation for insurance claims if required.
