Regular roof inspections can make a huge difference in extending the life of a roof. By identifying and addressing minor roofing problems before they worsen, you can avoid costly damage and help your roof last longer. Spring is an ideal time to have your roof checked.
In this post, metal roofing expert Done-Right Roofing & Sheet Metal Ltd. discusses the things you can expect during a professional roof inspection.
Interior inspections allow you to monitor the roof’s condition from the inside. This method requires your roofer to check the attic, ceiling and walls inside your home. They will look for common signs of issues including water stains, mold, attic holes, pest infestation and beams of light entering through the roof.
Roofing contractors concentrate on the roofing materials, such as shingles, during this stage of the inspection. They will look for missing components, rust and water damage. The material inspection also includes checking the flashing for leaks or cracks.
The structural inspection focuses on assessing how well the roofing system holds up as a whole. A flat roofing expert, for instance, would search for signs of sagging — such as cracked or rotted trusses, missing rafter ties and leaning exterior walls.
A workmanship inspection is done to evaluate the quality of installation. Your roofer will check the roofing system for installation problems that could increase the risk of leaks and other types of roof damage.
A roof inspection requires safety equipment, so hiring a professional is highly recommended. Remember that any roofing project should be done by an expert with proper knowledge and experience.
