Roof Inspections

Our inspections are comprehensive and meticulous, covering every aspect of your roof system. Here’s a closer look at what our expert inspectors will be looking for:

Interior Signs:

• Water Stains and Mold: We’ll begin by inspecting the interior of your building for signs of water intrusion. This includes checking ceilings, walls, and upper floors for water stains or mold growth, which can indicate leaks in the roof.

Exterior Roof Assessment:

• Flashing and Seams: Once on the roof, we’ll thoroughly examine all flashings around penetration points like pipes, vents, and skylights. Flashings are critical for waterproofing these areas, and any cracks, separations, or rust can be potential points of failure. We’ll also inspect seams where different roof sections meet, looking for loose or failing seals.
• Membrane Condition: The overall condition of the roof membrane itself is crucial. Our inspectors will look for signs of wear and tear, such as cracking, blistering, ponding water, or punctures. The type of membrane will also be considered, as different materials have varying lifespans and require specific maintenance checks.
• Drainage Systems: A properly functioning drainage system is essential to prevent water from accumulating on your roof. We’ll inspect gutters, downspouts, and drains for blockages, leaks, or rust.
• Roof Vents: Roof vents play a vital role in maintaining proper ventilation and preventing moisture buildup. We’ll ensure they are functioning correctly and free from debris.

Additional Considerations:

• Roof Age: The age of your roof is a significant factor in its overall health. As a roof ages, it becomes more susceptible to damage. Our inspectors will consider the roof’s age in partnership with the observed condition to determine its remaining lifespan.
• Roof Type: Different roof types require specific inspection procedures to maintain their warranties. Our inspectors are trained and experienced in evaluating various roofing systems, including flat roofs, metal roofs, and single-ply membranes.
• Documentation and Recommendations: Following the inspection, we’ll provide a detailed report outlining our findings, including photos of any problem areas. The report will also include recommendations for repairs, maintenance, or potential roof replacement, depending on the severity of the issues identified.
