Our inspection is not just a surface examination, we delve deeper to identify potential issues before they transform into costly repairs.
1. Shingles
We conduct a meticulous inspection of your shingles, checking for signs of wear and tear such as granule loss, curling, blistering, or buckling. Loose or missing shingles are also identified to prevent potential leaks or structural damage.
2. Ice & Water Shield
We verify the existence of an ice and water shield in key areas – the eaves, valleys, and around roof penetrations – all critical spots for preventing water intrusion.
3. Flashing
Our team examines all roof penetrations, such as skylights, chimneys, and vents, to ensure the flashing is intact and properly sealed against water intrusion.
4. Seals and Caulking
We check the caulking around roof penetrations and edges for cracks or shrinkage, ensuring that potential leaks don’t go unnoticed.
5. Roof Structure
The overall condition of your roof structure is evaluated, with checks for sagging, signs of moisture in the attic, and the adequacy of insulation.
6. Ventilation
We verify that your roof has the proper ventilation to prevent moisture build-up, which could lead to mold or structural damage.
7. Gutters
The condition of your gutters is assessed to ensure they are securely attached, clear of debris, and properly sloped for efficient water flow.
8. Downspouts
We inspect downspouts for blockages and make sure they are effectively channeling water away from the foundation of the house.
9. Gutter Guards
If your home is equipped with gutter guards, we assess their condition and effectiveness in preventing debris accumulation.
10. Gutter Apron
We check the gutter apron, a critical component at the roof’s perimeter that protects your home from wind-driven rain or sno
11. Fascia and Soffits
These often overlooked areas are examined for signs of rot or water damage, which could indicate gutter overflow or leaks.
12. Overall Drainage
Finally, we assess the effectiveness of the overall drainage system of your roof and gutters, ensuring it directs water away from your property to prevent potential foundation damage.
