Roof Inspections in Syracuse, 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 Syracuse 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 Syracuse homes, we commonly check the following areas:

• Shingle adhesion: We check whether the adhesive strips still hold neighboring shingles together. Loose shingles are more vulnerable to wind and water.
• 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.
• Attic ventilation: We check whether air can enter and leave the attic properly. Poor ventilation can trap heat and moisture and may shorten the life of the roofing materials.
• 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.
• 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.
• Underside of the roof: From inside the attic, we check the wooden roof deck for water stains and other signs of past or current moisture. From the attic, we can see moisture or roof damage that may not be visible from outside.

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. No charge and no obligationThe inspection is free. If the roof does not need work, we say that in the report. You are not required to hire us for anything.
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.
