Your roof does a lot more than shed rain. It protects the structure of your home from the worst mother nature can muster. As the seasons change, that roof will guard you and keep you safe. Even so, the heat, wind, hail, snow, tree limbs, and all the things in between will break down your roof. This is why regular inspections are so necessary. This will make sure that the roof is taken care of, and any damage is dealt with swiftly.
What Will I Learn From A Roof Inspection?
With a roof inspection, you will gain a clear picture of what state your roof is in. When done by an expert, you can learn things like:
- Were there any mistakes made during installation?
- Are there weak spots where a leak may show up?
- Is there a leak now?
- What is the true age of the roof compared with its life expectancy?
What Is Involved In An Inspection?
A true inspection will include the exterior and interior of the roof’s structure. It should be carried out in 2 steps:
#1 – Inspecting the Exterior Roof
The contractor will note where chimneys, gutters, vents, and flashing spots are located as well as their current state. This is also when the home’s eaves and siding are checked — looking for water stains, dents from hail, and signs of dry rot. Common roofing problems that will be noted are missing, broken, cracked or warped shingles, shakes or tiles, as well as soft spots in the roof deck.
#2 – Inspecting The Interior
The inspector will check not just the attic, but other spots of the home’s interior. This includes the ceilings and walls. They will check for signs of water, hail, or wind damage. A leak inside your house will be a clear symptom of damage.
