If you are unsure whether it is safe to climb onto your roof, leave the inspection or repair to a trained roofing professional. Different pitches and hidden weak spots can make a roof more dangerous than it appears from the ground.
Slipped shingles
Loose or displaced shingles can slide underfoot and create a serious fall risk. The older the roof, the more carefully its walking surface must be approached.
Rotten decking
A visible interior leak may mean the roof deck is already deteriorating. Water can weaken the wood from the inside, creating soft spots that may not be obvious until weight is placed on them.
Steep roofing
Steep roof planes require specialized training and safety equipment. The fall risk is not worth attempting work without the experience to move and secure yourself correctly.
