Roof Inspections in Highland, Utah

You do not need to wait for an active leak before scheduling a roof inspection in Highland. We check the flashing, vent seals, shingles and attic ventilation for problems that can develop before water reaches the inside of the home. If we find damage while the affected section is still small, you may be able to repair that section before water spreads farther into the roof or home.

You should have your roof inspected in Highland 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.

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 Highland 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.
• 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 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-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.
• 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.

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. Compare the attic and roof surfaceWe compare moisture, ventilation and structural conditions in the attic with the shingles, flashing and roof openings above them. If we see moisture, poor ventilation or older water damage in the attic, we include those conditions when we evaluate the roof surface.
