Roof Inspections in Riverton, Utah

Some roofing problems start long before you see a ceiling stain or an active leak. We check for loose shingles, damaged or corroded flashing, poor attic ventilation and other problems that are difficult to see from the ground. If we find loose shingles, damaged flashing or another early roof problem, you can address the damaged area before water reaches the wooden roof deck or other materials underneath the shingles.

You should have your roof inspected in Riverton when you are buying or selling a home, after severe weather, or anytime you want a clear picture of the roof's condition. We provide photographs and a written report that describes the roof's condition and any problems we identify. You can use the report to plan repairs, monitor developing problems or keep a record of the roof's condition.

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 Riverton 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.
• 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.
• 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.

We inspect the roof and attic, photograph the areas we checked and prepare a written report that explains the roof's condition. If the roof does not need repairs, we say so in the report. We document the condition we actually observe instead of assuming that every roof needs work.

1. Tell us why you need the inspectionLet us know whether you are buying a home, checking for storm damage or evaluating the roof's general condition. We use that purpose to decide which photographs and details to emphasize in the written report.
2. Inspect the roof directlyWhen conditions are safe, we walk the roof and check the shingles, flashing and roof edges. We also feel for soft areas in the wooden roof deck underfoot. We cannot confirm some roof problems from the ground.
3. Inspect the atticWe look at the underside of the roof for water stains, damp insulation, rusted nails, daylight through openings and other signs of moisture. From inside the attic, we can see moisture or openings that may not be visible from the roof surface.
4. Provide the reportAfter the inspection, we give you the photographs and a written summary of the roof's condition. You can keep the report, share the report with a buyer or seller, or provide the report to an insurance company.
