Roof Inspections in Eagle Mountain, Utah

Owners of new Eagle Mountain homes should get a roof inspection to find installation defects while the builder or the manufacturer is still liable for them. Workmanship warranties typically run a few years and material warranties depend on the roof having been installed to specification, so a defect documented now is somebody else's cost to put right. The same defect found after the warranty expires is yours.

You should inspect a newer Eagle Mountain roof before the workmanship warranty expires, after any major storm, or before purchasing the home. While a roof from around 2012 is unlikely to show natural wear, it could still have hidden installation errors, and those are only somebody else's responsibility while the warranty is still in force.

A roof inspection in Eagle Mountain includes the shingles, flashing, vents, pipes, roof edges, gutters, and the attic. We photograph important findings and provide a written summary. The report explains the roof's current condition. It also includes our estimate of the roof's remaining useful life.

We adjust the inspection based on the roof's condition. These are some of the checks we commonly perform on Eagle Mountain homes:

• Shingle adhesion: We check whether the adhesive strips that help hold neighboring shingles together are still working. Loose shingles are more vulnerable to wind and water.
• Roof drainage: We inspect roof edges, gutters, and drainage paths to make sure water is directed away from the roofing materials and wood. Poor drainage can cause hidden water damage.
• Roof joints: We inspect the areas where the roof meets chimneys, walls, valleys, vents, and other structures. These joints rely on flashing and seals to keep water out.
• Lower roof edges: We inspect the lower part of the roof for signs of damage from snow, ice, and backed-up water. These areas can be vulnerable during winter weather.
• Vent and pipe seals: Every pipe that passes through the roof needs a watertight seal. We inspect the rubber seal and flashing around each pipe for cracks, gaps, or deterioration.
• Built to specification: We check newer roofs against how they should have been installed, since a defect found now may still be the builder's cost to correct.

We document these findings with photographs. The report also includes our estimate of how much useful life the roof may have left. This information can help you plan repairs or replacement before a serious problem develops.

A roof inspection in Eagle Mountain is free and usually takes about an hour. We provide photographs and a written summary of the findings. There is no obligation to have any repair work completed. If the roof does not need immediate work, we state that clearly in the report.

1. Tell us why you need the inspectionA purchase inspection, storm-damage inspection, and general condition inspection may require different documentation. Knowing the purpose helps us focus the report on the information you need.
2. Photograph the findingsWe take photographs during the inspection so the written report is supported by images of the actual roof conditions we observed.
3. Check attic ventilationWe inspect how air enters and leaves the attic. Proper ventilation helps control heat and moisture and can reduce problems such as 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 state that clearly in the written report.
