As a homeowner, it’s your responsibility to ensure that your home remains in top form. That way, it can last long and protect your home for many years to come. One way you can accomplish this is by having a roofing contractor inspect your roof on a regular basis. But what exactly can you expect from a professional roof inspection?
Here are the four different facets of professional roofing inspection that you can expect:
1. Structural Inspection – When it comes to structural inspections, your roofer will check the roof for uneven planes and any signs of sagging while examining the conditions of the soffit, fascia and your gutter system. Apart from that, they may also check your attic ventilation to prevent roofing damage in the future. Additionally, if you have a chimney, you can expect them to inspect the masonry for cracks, crumbling grout, or chimney cap damage.
2. Interior Inspection – Roof leaks can easily cause damage to your home and lead to mold and mildew growth. With that in mind, to prevent this from occurring, a roofer will also inspect the interior of your home for water stains to see if what has made its way into your home.
3. Material Inspection – On the other hand, during the material inspection, your residential roofing service provider will be inspecting your roof for loose, missing, or curled shingles as well as stains, rust, or missing flashing or fasteners. By doing so, they can determine which parts of your roof are deteriorated or damaged enough to require repair or replacement.
4. Workmanship Inspection – Apart from the aforementioned inspections, your roofer will also check the workmanship of your roof to see if there are any problems that can increase the risk of leaks or other kinds of damage in the long run.
