A roof inspection is an examination conducted by a professional roofing contractor to assess the condition of a roof. The primary purpose is to evaluate the roof’s current state, identify any existing or potential issues, and provide recommendations for maintenance, repairs, or replacement if necessary.
Roof Inspection Checklist
External Examination – Inspect the overall condition of the roof, looking for visible damage, wear, or signs of aging.
Interior Inspection (If Accessible) – Check the attic or interior spaces for signs of leaks, water damage, or structural issues related to the roof.
Leak Detection – Look for any signs of water infiltration, including stains, mold, or wet spots inside and outside.
Assessment of Roofing Materials – Examine the condition of roofing materials (shingles, tiles, metal panels, etc.) for damage, wear, or deterioration.
Flashing & Sealant Inspection – Inspect the flashing around vents, chimneys, and skylights for proper sealing and to ensure no water can penetrate these vulnerable areas.
Gutter Inspection – Examine the gutters and downspouts for blockages, rust, leaks, or damage. Ensure proper water drainage to prevent roof and foundation issues.
