INSPECTIONS

A roof inspection is a thorough examination of a property's roofing system to assess its current condition, identify potential issues, and determine the need for repairs or maintenance. Roof inspections are typically conducted by roofing professionals, inspectors, or contractors with expertise in evaluating various roofing materials and structures.

What does a roof inspection entail?

A roof inspection involves a comprehensive assessment of your roof's condition. Trained professionals will examine various elements, including shingles, flashing, gutters, vents, and the roof's overall structure.

Here are key aspects typically covered in a roof inspection:

Visual Examination:The inspector visually assesses the overall condition of the roof, checking for signs of wear, damage, or deterioration.

Roofing Materials:Inspection includes an evaluation of the type and condition of roofing materials such as shingles, tiles, metal panels, or membrane roofing.

Structural Integrity:The inspector checks the structural integrity of the roof, looking for sagging, uneven surfaces, or any signs of structural damage.

Flashing and Sealants:Inspection covers the condition of flashings around chimneys, vents, skylights, and other roof penetrations. Sealants are checked for integrity.

Gutters and Downspouts:The inspector examines gutters and downspouts for proper installation, condition, and functionality. They ensure that water drainage is effective.

Ventilation:Ventilation systems are assessed to ensure proper airflow in the attic space. Inadequate ventilation can lead to moisture issues and affect the lifespan of roofing materials.

Insulation:The condition of insulation in the attic is often evaluated, as proper insulation contributes to energy efficiency and helps prevent issues like ice dams.

Signs of Leaks or Water Damage:The inspector looks for signs of leaks or water damage on the interior of the property, such as water stains on ceilings or walls.

Mold and Mildew:If moisture-related issues are suspected, the inspector may check for the presence of mold or mildew.

Accessibility and Safety:The overall safety and accessibility of the roof are considered. Inspectors ensure that the roof can be safely accessed for inspection purposes.

Photographic Documentation:Many inspections include photographic documentation of the roof's condition. This serves as a reference and can be shared with property owners.

Report and Recommendations:Following the inspection, a detailed report is provided to the property owner. This report includes findings, recommendations for repairs or maintenance, and an assessment of the roof's overall health.

How long does a roof inspection typically take?

The duration of a roof inspection varies based on the size of your home and the complexity of the roof. On average, inspections may take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours for a thorough assessment.

Do I need to be present during the roof inspection?

While it's not necessary, your presence during the inspection can be beneficial. It allows you to ask questions, discuss concerns directly with the inspector, and gain a better understanding of the roof's condition.

What tools or equipment do inspectors use during the inspection?

Our inspectors often use various tools, including ladders, moisture meters, and sometimes drones or thermal imaging devices. These aids help them examine different aspects of the roof more thoroughly.

What should I expect the inspector to look for during the inspection?

The inspector will look for signs of damage, such as missing or damaged shingles, leaks, cracks, rot, mold, or structural issues. They'll also assess the overall integrity and condition of the roofing system.

Will the inspector provide a report after the inspection?

Yes, after completing the inspection, the inspector will typically provide a detailed report outlining their findings. This report will include photographs, descriptions of any issues detected, and recommendations for repairs or maintenance.
