Professional Roofing Inspections: What to Expect During an Inspection at Home

Roofs are sturdy and built to last, but they need to be properly maintained to stay in good condition. Professional roofing services include inspections that are meant to check the status of your roof.

In this post, trusted roofing contractor Deschutes Roofing shares the things you can expect from us a professional roofing inspection.

What Happens During Roof Inspection

In a standard roofing inspection, experts check for existing leaks, evidence of wear and tear, invasive growths like mildew and mold, improper repairs or installation, and damage caused by the elements.

To give you an idea of what goes on during an inspection, here are some tasks performed by roofers:

• Workmanship Inspection – Checking the quality of previous repairs and replacements is part of the full evaluation of your roofing system. This is to ensure that the work was completed to a high standard and that any damage was properly repaired. Your contractor will recommend better solutions if your roof has workmanship issues, such as faulty flashing around roof penetrations or shoddy repairs.
• Material Inspection – This type of inspection searches for problems with the roofing materials. The roofer inspects the shingles and other components for signs of deterioration, rust and stains, missing fasteners and flashing, and so on. Shingle granules settling in your roof valleys and the gutter system could mean your roof is nearing the end of its service life and needs roof replacement soon.
• Interior Inspection – The roofer will inspect your home’s interior areas, particularly those directly beneath your roof, such as the attic and ceiling. Because roof leaks can be unnoticeable and can cause severe damage later, any seemingly small issue with your roofing system must be noted. Your roofing contractor will inspect your property for water stains, mold, wood rot and other signs of moisture damage.
