Roof Inspections in Emigration Canyon, Utah

Many older homes in Emigration Canyon were built around 1991, but the current roof may have been replaced one or more times since the home was built. If you do not know when the current roof was installed, we inspect the shingles and roofing components that are on the home now. We base our estimate of the roof's remaining useful life on the condition of the shingles and roofing components that are installed now, not on the age of the house.

Three common reasons to schedule a roof inspection in Emigration Canyon are a home purchase or sale, a storm that damaged nearby roofs, and repeated repairs on the same aging roof. If the roof has already needed several repairs, we inspect the entire roofing system instead of looking only at the latest problem area. We then explain whether another repair appears reasonable or whether the overall roof condition suggests that you should start planning for replacement.

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 Emigration Canyon homes, we commonly check the following areas:

• Shingle adhesion: We check whether the adhesive strips still hold neighboring shingles together. Loose shingles are more vulnerable to wind and water.
• Eaves and gutters: We inspect the lower roof edge and gutter line for signs that water has moved behind the roofing materials or damaged the wood.
• 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.
• Flashing: We inspect the metal flashing around chimneys, walls, roof edges, valleys and other joints. Loose or damaged flashing can let water into the roof even when the shingles are still in good condition.
• 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.
• Shingle layers: We check how many layers of shingles are already on the roof. On an older home built around 1991, previous roof replacements may have added layers, and the number of layers can affect the cost and scope of a future replacement.

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.
