Roof Inspections in American Fork, Utah

Some roofing problems start long before you see a ceiling stain or an active leak. We check for loose shingles, damaged or corroded flashing, poor attic ventilation and other problems that are difficult to see from the ground. If we find loose shingles, damaged flashing or another early roof problem, you can address the damaged area before water reaches the wooden roof deck or other materials underneath the shingles.

You should have your roof inspected in American Fork when you are buying or selling a home, after severe weather, or anytime you want a clear picture of the roof's condition. We provide photographs and a written report that describes the roof's condition and any problems we identify. You can use the report to plan repairs, monitor developing problems or keep a record of the roof's condition.

We inspect the shingles, flashing, vents, pipes, roof edges, gutters and attic. We photograph any wear, damage, moisture or installation problems we identify. In the written report, we explain the roof's current condition and describe its condition and whether replacement appears to be approaching.

We adjust the inspection to the roof's design, age and condition. On American Fork homes, we commonly check the following areas:

• Shingle adhesion: We gently check whether the shingles are still sealed to the shingles below them. A shingle can look normal from the ground even after its adhesive bond has failed.
• Roof drainage: We check the roof edges, gutters and drainage paths to see whether water can move off the roof properly. Poor drainage can allow water to damage roofing materials and wood.
• Roof joints: We check the areas where the roof meets chimneys, walls, valleys, vents and other structures. We inspect the flashing and seals at these joints for openings or damage that could let water into the roof.
• Lower roof edges: We inspect the lower roof edge for loose shingles, damaged materials and signs that snow, ice or backed-up water has moved underneath the roofing.
• Attic ventilation: We check whether the attic has enough airflow. Poor ventilation can trap heat and moisture and can contribute to winter ice problems.
• Wooden roof deck: When we can safely walk the roof, we check for soft or flexible areas underfoot. A soft area can indicate moisture damage in the wooden roof deck underneath the shingles.

We photograph the shingles, flashing, roof openings and attic, including any wear or damage we identify. In the written report, we include the photographs, describe the roof's condition and whether replacement appears to be approaching and list any repairs we recommend. We list urgent repairs separately from roof conditions you can monitor or plan to address later.

1. Choose safe inspection conditionsWe do not walk a roof when snow, ice, rain or other conditions make the inspection unsafe or keep us from seeing the roofing materials clearly. If needed, we reschedule for safer conditions.
2. Take photographsWe photograph the roof, attic and any areas that show wear or damage. We include the photographs with the written report so you can see the conditions we describe.
3. Inspect the atticWe look at the underside of the roof for water stains, damp insulation, rusted nails, daylight through openings and other signs of moisture. From inside the attic, we can see moisture or openings that may not be visible from the roof surface.
4. Report when no repair is neededIf the roof is in good condition and does not need immediate work, we say that clearly in the written report.
