Roof Inspections in Herriman, Utah

If your Herriman home has a newer roof, we can inspect the installation while an applicable builder, workmanship or manufacturer warranty may still be in effect. We photograph and describe any installation defects we identify. If the warranty covers a documented defect, you can provide the photographs and written report to the responsible builder, installer or manufacturer before the warranty period ends.

For a newer roof in Herriman, two good times to schedule an inspection are before the applicable workmanship warranty expires and after a major storm. Before the warranty ends, we can document installation defects that may still be covered. After a storm, we can document fresh damage that may be relevant to an insurance claim. You do not need to wait for a ceiling stain before checking the roof.

We inspect the main parts of the roofing system that affect the roof's condition and lifespan. We check whether the shingles are still sealed together, inspect the metal flashing around roof joints, evaluate attic ventilation and look for damage to the wooden roof deck. Problems with shingles, flashing, attic ventilation or the wooden roof deck can develop before you can see damage from the ground.

We adjust the inspection to the roof's design, age and condition. On Herriman 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.
• 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.
• Installation quality: We check newer roofs for installation defects. If an applicable builder or workmanship warranty is still in effect, we photograph and describe any defect we identify so you have documentation to provide to the responsible builder or installer.
• 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.
• 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.

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. 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 roof joints and openingsWe check chimneys, walls, valleys, vent pipes, skylights and roof edges closely. At each joint or opening, we inspect the flashing and seals for gaps, cracks, loose materials or other damage that could let water into 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.
