4 Things You Can Expect From a Professional Roof Inspection

Scheduling a regular roof inspection can help prevent structural damage to your home and improve your roofing system’s performance and appearance. There are some types of roof damage that are invisible to the untrained eye. A professional opinion is important and necessary. ImproveIt! of Atlanta Roofing explains what to expect during a professional roof inspection:

  • Material Inspection – The roofing contractor will look for missing, curling, buckling or damaged shingles. They will also check for missing flashings or fasteners, as well as for stains, moss and rust.
  • Workmanship Inspection – Your roofing company will also carefully examine your roof for signs of improper workmanship, like incorrect flashing installation around your roof penetrations. Mistakes in workmanship can leave your roof more vulnerable to roof leaks in the future.
  • Structural Inspection – They will also look for signs of sagging and examine the condition of your fascia, soffit, and other roof components. They can check your chimney for crumbling grout, chimney-cap damage and cracks. The inspector can also ensure your attic is properly vented.
  • Interior Inspection – The roof contractor will examine your attic, ceiling and walls for mold, rot, water stains and other signs that indicate that water has entered your home. They can also see if there are holes in your attic.
