Roof Inspection

Our inspector will:

A. Inspect:
1. The roofing material (by entering onto and traversing the roof surface if appropriate).
2. The soffits and fascia.
3. The flashings.
4. The skylights, chimneys, and roof penetrations.
 
B. Describe:
1. The roofing material and type.
2. The style of the roof (i.e. gable, hip, mansard, low slope).

C. Report:
1. The methods used to inspect the roof.
2. Roofing material failures or damage to the roofing material.
3. Visible signs of leaking in ceilings, walls, roof sheathing, trusses, rafters, joists, soffits and fascia.
4. Unworkmanlike or unconventional repairs and materials.

Roofs protect building occupants and interiors from outside weather conditions and moisture. The roof, insulation, and ventilation must all work together to keep the building free of moisture. Roofs also provide protection from the sun. If designed correctly roof overhangs can protect the house exterior from moisture and sun.
