Roof questions
I did my bi-annual inspection of the roof sealants today, and I have a couple of questions...
1) I did not find any deterioration on the seals that was abnormal. I filled the hairline cracks as I do each spring/fall and all is well. However, I note that the unit is now 5 years old and I wonder if there is a time at which covering the cracks on the original sealant is insufficient. Is there a point at which I should be pulling off the sealant altogether and starting fresh, or is it sufficient to simply continue to inspect and cover 2x each year?
2). I note that I can see the location of the roof seems more clearly than I have in the past. Is this normal with aging, or is it a sign of more extensive deterioration of the roof with which I need to be concerned?
Thanks!
