Your roof protects you from the harsh elements. However, these elements can sometimes deal damage to your roof. This is why it’s important to have professional roofing contractors perform inspections at least two times a year. This is to ensure that your roofing system is healthy and there are no problems that can be detrimental to the rest of your home. Ken Morton & Sons LLC shares the things you can expect in a typical roof inspection.
Structural Inspection
Your roofers will check for signs of sagging and uneven roof planes. They will also check the other components such as the soffits, fascia boards and your gutter system. Another important thing that they will be checking is the ventilation inside your attic. This is crucial to minimizing heat and moisture buildup that can reduce your roof’s lifespan.
Interior Inspection
It is not only the outside structure of your roof that will be checked but also the inside. The roofers will inspect your living spaces, particularly your ceilings and walls for any indications of leaks.
Material Inspection
Expect your local roofing and siding repair contractor to examine your roof’s components, including your shingles, flashings and vents. Are there signs of buckling or cracking on the shingles? Are the flashings still intact or have been deformed because of the weather? They’ll recommend repairs as soon as they find something out of the ordinary on your roofing materials.
Workmanship Inspection
The last thing that your roofer will inspect is the workmanship of your roof. They will see if the components are properly installed or not. Any indications of subpar workmanship will be repaired to ensure your roof’s weather performance. This is also helpful in avoiding bigger problems that might arise in the future.
