Salisbury – September 18, 2026 -- Annual roof inspections can prevent minor issues like loose shingles and deteriorating sealant from escalating into costly structural damage, according to a new HelloNation article featuring Roofing Expert R. Sean Fahey of Peninsula Roofing Company, Inc. in Salisbury, Maryland.

Inspections target flashing, gutters and surface wear before leaks appear

The article outlines an annual roof inspection checklist that prioritizes flashing around chimneys, vents and skylights, since failures there allow water to penetrate the structure. Inspectors also check for missing, curled or cracked shingles on residential roofs and damaged sections on commercial roofs. Clogged gutters and blocked drainage points are flagged as common causes of water buildup that shortens roof lifespan.
