Roof Inspections in Lindon, Utah

Some roof problems in Lindon 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 Lindon 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 roofing materials, the components that commonly fail first and the attic underneath the roof. We take photographs during the roof and attic inspection and provide a written report of the roof's condition. You can keep the report for your records or share it with a buyer, seller, insurer or another contractor.

We adjust the inspection to the roof's design, age and condition. On Lindon homes, we commonly check the following areas:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

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. Choose safe inspection conditionsWe do not walk a roof when snow, ice, rain or other conditions make the inspection unsafe or keep us from seeing the roofing materials clearly. If needed, we reschedule for safer conditions.
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. 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.
4. Provide a written reportWe give you photographs and a written summary of the roof's condition. We list repairs that need attention now, conditions you can monitor and our estimate of the roof's remaining useful life.
