Roof Inspection
A thorough roof inspection includes an interior inspection, normally through your attic or crawl space, followed by a thorough exterior inspection.
Both inspections should look for obvious signs of damage to your roof.
These signs include: water stains, broken shingles, loose or damaged vent pipes, loose or damaged chimney caps, missing shingles, missing flashing, mold growth, curling shingles, clogged gutters, damaged flashing, standing water, missing drip edge, and ice dams.
It is recommended that an annual inspection is completed of your home's roof by a certified roof inspector or roofing professional.
Most roofing companies offer free estimates and free roof inspections that should include a roof inspection report.
Having your roof professionally inspected is important in case the structural integrity of your roof is compromised and you need to get a home inspector or insurance company involved.
