What Do We Look For When Inspecting Your Roof?

Roofers look for several things when inspecting a roof. Here are some of the main things they check for:

• Overall condition: They inspect the overall condition of the roof to determine its age, type of material, and general wear and tear.

• Damage: They look for any damage to the roof, such as missing, cracked, or broken shingles, holes, or punctures. They also look for signs of water damage, such as discoloration or staining on the roof.

• Flashing: They check the flashing around the chimney, vents, and other openings on the roof to ensure it is in good condition and securely fastened.

• Gutters: They inspect the gutters for any signs of damage or blockages. Blocked gutters can cause water to back up and damage the roof.

• Ventilation: They check the ventilation system to ensure that air can circulate properly, which is important for maintaining the health of the roof.

• Structural integrity: They look for any signs of structural damage, such as sagging or unevenness, which can indicate a problem with the roof deck or support structure.

• Presence of debris: They check for any debris, such as leaves or branches, which can accumulate on the roof and damage it over time.

Reasons to Have Your Roof Inspected

1. Identify issues early: Regular roof inspections can help identify issues early on before they become major problems. Catching minor issues like cracked shingles or loose flashing early can prevent them from becoming larger, more expensive problems like roof leaks and water damage.
2. Prevent costly repairs: Regular inspections can help identify issues before they become major problems, which can save you money on costly repairs or even a full roof replacement.
3. Extend the lifespan of your roof: Regular inspections can help extend the lifespan of your roof. By catching minor issues early and addressing them promptly, you can prevent premature aging and deterioration of the roof.
4. Maintain the health of your home: A damaged roof can cause water damage to your home's interior and exterior, leading to mold growth, rotting wood, and other health hazards. Regular inspections can help prevent water damage and keep your home safe and healthy.
5. Insurance requirements: Many insurance companies require regular roof inspections as part of their policy requirements. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in denial of coverage for damages to your roof.
