Key Components of a Roof Inspection
Structural Inspection
During a structural inspection, professionals will check for signs of sagging, uneven roof planes, and issues with the chimney, vents, and gutters. They will also inspect the attic for proper ventilation and signs of moisture.
Material Selection
Inspectors will examine the condition of shingles, tiles, or other roofing materials. They look for loose, missing, or damaged pieces, as well as signs of moss, rust, or staining. This helps in identifying areas that need repair or replacement.
Interior Inspection
Leaks can cause significant damage inside your home. An interior inspection involves checking the ceilings, walls, and attic for signs of water intrusion, mold, and mildew. This step ensures that any internal damage is caught early.
Workmanship Inspection
After the replacement, ensure a thorough inspection to confirm that the new roof is properly installed and free from defects. Regular maintenance and inspections will help keep your roof in good condition and extend its lifespan.
