2. Shingle Flexibility
During the inspection, our experienced team performs a shingle flexibility test to assess the condition of your roof's shingles. We carefully evaluate the flexibility of the shingles by gently applying pressure to selected areas. This test helps us determine the shingles' ability to withstand natural movement, temperature changes, and potential stressors without cracking or breaking.
3. Shingle Seal Tabs
The integrity of shingle seal tabs is crucial for their effectiveness in providing protection against wind damage and water penetration. Our inspection includes a careful evaluation of these tabs to ensure they are intact and securely bonded to the shingles.
4. Granule Loss
Shingles are designed with protective granules that shield them from harmful UV rays and provide fire resistance. We examine the extent of granule loss on your shingles, as excessive loss can compromise their functionality and lifespan. By assessing granule loss, we can determine if any corrective actions are needed.
5. Physical Roof Damage
Our inspection identifies any signs of physical damage on your roof, such as cracks, dents, or missing shingles. These damages can result from severe weather, falling debris, or other factors. Identifying and addressing physical damage is crucial to prevent water leaks and further deterioration of the roof structure.
6. Attic Inspection (As Needed)
As part of our comprehensive inspection, we conduct an examination of your attic. This includes assessing the insulation quality, ventilation system, and potential signs of moisture or mold. A well-maintained attic with proper insulation and ventilation is essential for the health and longevity of the entire roof structure.
7. Roof Ventilation
Adequate roof ventilation is vital to prevent issues such as heat buildup and excess moisture. We evaluate the ventilation system, including intake vents, exhaust vents, and any necessary air channels. Optimizing roof ventilation helps regulate temperature, prevents moisture-related problems, and extends the life of your roof.
8. Algae & Moss Streaks
Our inspection involves identifying and assessing the presence of algae and moss streaks on your roof. These organic growths not only affect the aesthetic appeal but can also lead to deterioration if left untreated. We provide recommendations for treatment or preventive measures to maintain a clean and healthy roof surface.
9. Chimneys
Chimneys are prone to various issues such as cracks, loose bricks, or damaged flashing. During the inspection, we carefully examine the condition of chimneys, ensuring they are structurally sound and adequately sealed to prevent water intrusion.
10. Gutters & Downspouts
The evaluation of gutters and downspouts is an essential part of our inspection. We check for proper drainage, inspecting the gutters for any clogs, damage, or misalignment. Efficient water flow through gutters and downspouts helps prevent water accumulation on the roof surface, minimizing the risk of leaks and water damage.
11. Eaves, Soffit, Fascia
Our inspection extends to the eaves, soffit, and fascia areas of your roof. We carefully examine these components for signs of damage, rot, or deterioration. Eaves, soffit, and fascia play a critical role in protecting the roof structure from moisture, pests, and other potential issues. Identifying any concerns allows us to recommend appropriate repairs or maintenance.
12. Roof Penetrations
As part of our thorough roof surface inspection, we carefully examine all roof penetrations, including vents, pipes, skylights, or any other components that breach the roof's surface. Roof penetrations are potential areas for water leaks if not properly sealed and maintained.
