What Does a Roof Inspection in North Salt Lake Include?
A roof inspection in North Salt Lake includes the shingles, flashing, vents, pipes, roof edges, gutters, and the attic. We photograph important findings and provide a written summary. The report explains the roof's current condition. It also includes our estimate of the roof's remaining useful life.
We adjust the inspection based on the roof's condition. These are some of the checks we commonly perform on North Salt Lake homes:
- Shingle adhesion: We check whether the adhesive strips that help hold neighboring shingles together are still working. 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 is getting behind the roofing materials or damaging the wood.
- Underside of the roof: We inspect the attic side of the wooden roof deck for water stains and other signs of past or current moisture. This can reveal problems that are not visible from the roof surface.
- Vent-pipe seals: Rubber seals around vent pipes can dry out and crack before the surrounding shingles wear out. We inspect each seal for damage.
- Roof joints: We inspect the areas where the roof meets chimneys, walls, valleys, vents, and other structures. These joints rely on flashing and seals to keep water out.
- Attic ventilation: We check whether air can enter and leave the attic properly. Poor ventilation can increase heat and moisture inside the attic and may shorten the life of roofing materials.
We document these findings with photographs. The report also includes our estimate of how much useful life the roof may have left. This information can help you plan repairs or replacement before a serious problem develops.
