Roof Inspections

Save Money with Periodic Visual Inspections
A regular program of inspection and repairs will help detect minor problems before they become serious problems, avoiding interruptions of the internal operations within the building, and most importantly, protecting the owner's investment by adding years to the life of the roof.

Some common problems addressed in a roof inspection are blistering due to trapped water vapor, open laps around flashing due to poor adhesion of membrane to metal flashing, splitting of roof surface material, deteriorating or loose flashing, and fastener issues. Older roofs are inspected for brittleness and surface deterioration, while newer roofs are notable for showing settlement problems that are easily corrected. Clogged drains and loose or defective gutters are also included in the issues to be addressed in a roof inspection.

Roof repair need not be extensive or costly if proper roof inspections are carried out on a regular basis. Having a roof inspected is intended to detect and repair small defects before they become big problems. Catastrophic roof failure essentially dooms a structure, no matter how well the rest of the building is constructed.

Here are a few of the problems that can be spotted with a simple visual survey:
