What a Professional Roof Inspection Covers

Your roofing system is your home’s first line of defense against the elements, so it’s crucial to keep it in top condition. Professional roof inspection plays a pivotal role in maintaining your home’s integrity. In this post, we explore the essential components of a professional roof inspection.

Exterior Roof Inspection

The exterior roof inspection focuses on examining the outer section for signs of aging, damage, and potential issues, such as missing or damaged shingles, the condition of roof valleys, and the integrity of flashings around roof penetrations. It’s important to identify and address these concerns to prevent further damage.

Interior Roof Inspection

An interior roof inspection checks for signs of water intrusion, rot, or structural damage inside the house. This involves checking the attic’s insulation, ventilation, and moisture levels. Condensation, mold, or stains on the underside of the roof deck indicate issues that your roofing contractor should thoroughly investigate for your home’s safety.

Gutter System Evaluation

The gutter system is crucial for directing water away from your roof and foundation. During inspection, professionals assess gutter and downspout conditions to ensure they function correctly and prevent water damage. Your gutters might be subjected to a repair or replacement if a major issue has been detected.

Structural Inspection

Professional roof inspections include assessing the roof’s structural integrity and checking for signs of sagging or deterioration.

Material Inspection

During a roof inspection, attention is given to the materials to check for signs of wear and tear, aging, erosion, or damage that could compromise the roof’s effectiveness. If a replacement might be necessary, your roofer will suggest a high-quality material that ensures your roof’s longevity and integrity.

Workmanship Examination

Poor installation or previous repairs can significantly impact the lifespan and functionality of your roof. During our inspection process, your roofing contractor will inspect the quality of workmanship to identify any potential problems caused by improper installation or repairs.
