What’s Included in a Roof Inspection?
Jeff will examine every component of a roof, including flashings , condition of roofing material, roof penetrations etc.
Structural Inspection
The structural inspection will check for obvious visual defects or issues that could become an issue down the road. This part of the evaluation requires looking for any signs that may point toward a sagging roof, based on how the roof planes are laid out.
The structural inspection doesn’t focus on finding damaged parts of a roof or missing roofing materials, but instead examines the well-being of the main components of the roofing system. Signs that your roof may be sagging include:
- Cracked, splintered, or rotted rafters or trusses
- Sagging ceilings
- Missing or damaged collar ties
- Missing or damaged rafter ties
- Exterior walls that are tilting or leaning
Jeff also looks at the condition of your soffit, fascia and gutters. If you have any skylights, chimneys, or vents, they’ll check the grout, seals, and exterior for any signs of damage to these systems.
The interior attic portion of the inspection will tackle any signs of damage to the roof that aren’t visible from the outside. As far as the interior living areas , Jeff will check ceilings, walls and floors throughout . The signs will typically include the following:
- Water stains
- Wood rot
- Mold
- Holes in the walls or ceilings
- Pests in the attic, etc
