Roof Inspections in Cedar Fort, 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 Cedar Fort before you buy or sell a home, after a severe storm, or when you want to check the condition of an aging roof. If a recent storm damaged roofs in your neighborhood or blew shingles off nearby homes, your roof may have storm damage too. We inspect the shingles, flashing and roof openings for storm damage. We photograph any damage we find and tell you whether your roof needs repairs.

When the roof is safe to access, we inspect the roofing materials from outside and check the underside of the roof from inside the attic. We compare the roof surface with the attic for signs of leaks, moisture, ventilation problems and hidden damage. We photograph the areas we inspect and give you a written report of the roof's condition. You can keep the report or share it with a buyer, seller or insurance company.

We adjust the inspection to the roof's design, age and condition. On Cedar Fort 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.
• Attic ventilation: We check whether the attic has enough airflow. Poor ventilation can trap heat and moisture and can contribute to winter ice problems.
• Attic inspection: We inspect the underside of the roof from inside the attic. We look for water stains, damp insulation, rusted nails, daylight through openings and other signs of moisture or roof damage.
• Vent and pipe seals: We inspect the rubber seals and flashing around pipes that pass through the roof. We look for cracks, gaps and deterioration that could let water into the roof.
• Ice-dam damage: We inspect the lower roof edge for signs that melting snow became trapped behind ice. Trapped water can move underneath the shingles and damage the roof edge even when you never noticed an interior leak.

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.

Our roof inspections in Cedar Fort are free and usually take about an hour. After the inspection, we give you photographs and a written summary of the roof's condition. We tell you which roof problems need attention now, which conditions you can monitor and how much useful life we estimate the roof has left. You are not required to hire us for any recommended work.

1. Schedule the inspectionA typical inspection takes about an hour. You do not always need to be home. We can send you the photographs and written report afterward.
2. Inspect the roof directlyWhen conditions are safe, we walk the roof and check the shingles, flashing and roof edges. We also feel for soft areas in the wooden roof deck underfoot. We cannot confirm some roof problems from the ground.
3. Check attic ventilationWe inspect how air enters and leaves the attic. Proper ventilation helps control heat and moisture and can reduce premature shingle aging and winter ice buildup.
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.
