Roof Inspections in Farr West, Utah

Some roof problems in Farr West are difficult to see from the ground. We check the shingles, flashing, roof openings and attic for damage and ventilation problems. If we find a problem before water reaches a larger part of the roof or the inside of the home, you may only need to repair the smaller damaged area. We also describe the roof's condition and whether replacement appears to be approaching so you can plan future maintenance or replacement.

You should have your roof inspected in Farr West 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 Farr West 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: We check the wood underneath the shingles for soft or damaged areas. If we find damaged roof decking, we consider how much wood is affected when we determine whether the roof needs a limited repair or more extensive work.
• Vent-pipe seals: We inspect the rubber seals around vent pipes for cracks and deterioration. Rubber vent-pipe seals can crack or deteriorate before the surrounding shingles wear out.
• Attic ventilation: We check whether the attic has enough airflow. Poor ventilation can trap heat and moisture and can contribute to winter ice problems.
• 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.

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.

Whether you are buying, selling or simply checking the roof, we follow the same basic process. We inspect the roof surface, flashing joints and vents, then check the underside of the roof from inside the attic. From the attic, we can see moisture, ventilation problems and damage that may not be visible from the roof surface. We include photographs and a written summary with the inspection.

1. No charge and no obligationThe inspection is free. If the roof does not need work, we say that in the report. You are not required to hire us for anything.
2. Inspect every roof slopeWe inspect every roof slope we can safely access, not just the area where you first noticed a problem. Wind, sun and weather can affect more than one section of the roof.
3. Inspect the underside of the roofWe look for water stains on the attic side of the wooden roof deck. We use the location, color and condition of attic stains to judge whether the moisture appears active, older or related to condensation.
4. Organize the report by priorityWe list urgent repairs first. We then list roof conditions you can monitor and work you can plan for later.
