Do not forget about your attic

You attic is an often forgotten space in your house. Most of us simply use it for storage and therefore do not frequent it often. However, it is important to check the surroundings of your attic every once in a while. It is a good idea to do this after every big storm.

New Generation Roofing suggests you inspect your attic often. This is because the state of your attic is directly related to the state of your roof. You want to check and see that there are no leaks in your attic from your roof. This is a sure sign that something is amiss with your roof top. 

What you find in your attic as far as damage or leaks will most likely need to be fixed by fixing your roof. You will find that the first signs of damage are often seen in your attic. But if you do not inspect your attic often, you will not know the extent of the damage, possibly until it is too late. 

You also want to make sure that your attic has excellent ventilation and insulation. These two elements have a direct relationship to your roof. You want to also make sure that there are clear pathways to these areas. In this way you can ensure that they are working properly.
