The Inspection
First, the inspector will ask for known history of the roof, such as recent repairs, critter problems, and your long-time plans for the property. The history of a roof is valuable because if there were previous repairs they can look at those to see if they were done properly.
Lots of Debris on Roof
|
Attic Soffit Vents are Plugged
|
Ceiling Leak could be due to a Roof Leak
|
Outside the Home
The outside perimeter of the home will be checked for granules from shingles or pieces of broken roofing material littering the ground. Trees with overhanging branches that should be cut back will be pointed out. Next, a ladder will be employed to get closer to the roof’s edges to view broad sections of the roof looking at valleys, vents, peaks and chimney this will help develop a general idea of the integrity of the roof.
What can’t be seen from a ladder will require an inspector getting on the roof, should the pitch allow, to inspect suspect areas. The inspector does take advantage of their phone’s camera to take pictures of problem areas to use as a visual aid in discussions with our clients. Because of this, our clients will never have to climb up on their roof to view roof faults- this is so dangerous or even impossible for many clients. Inspectors will note faults to the health of the roof’s system, such as debris on roof, dirty gutters and flashing around chimneys, vents and pipes.

Inside the Home
The inspector will go inside the home to check for evidence of roof leaks (ceiling leaks). Lastly the Attic ventilation will be assessed- checking for mold growth, leaks around vents, and checking to see if the soffit vents are clear. At this point, some options or solutions will be discussed for the client to consider while we write up the report. Also, we do give some indication of how severe we consider the faults of the roof to be- if your roof is in really bad shape, you probably know this already.

Flat Commercial Roofs should be inspected after every major storm, or at least 2 times a year. Mainly because what drops in, blows in or crawls on will stay on till somebody takes it off. Chesterfield VA Roofing could assess the roof after bad storms, spring and fall. Take advantage of our free, no commitments, roof inspection and get an idea of what kind of shape your company's roof is in.
We encourage you to follow the inspector during the roof assessment to aid communications and all-around understanding. The inspector will look at deterioration points, accessories in need of repair, safety concerns, mold, mildew infestations, and debris removal assessment. Photographs of roof faults will be taken to illustrate the inspectors’ findings, and will be included on the written assessment. Our goal is to promote a budget friendly, long lasting roof repair. When the roof can’t be repaired, an affordable roof replacement will be detailed.
