Roof Inspections in Woods Cross, 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 Woods Cross 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.

When the roof is safe to access, we inspect the roofing materials from outside and check the underside of the roof from inside the attic. We compare the roof surface with the attic for signs of leaks, moisture, ventilation problems and hidden damage. We photograph the areas we inspect and give you a written report of the roof's condition. You can keep the report or share it with a buyer, seller or insurance company.

We adjust the inspection to the roof's design, age and condition. On Woods Cross 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.
• Eaves and gutters: We inspect the lower roof edge and gutter line for signs that water has moved behind the roofing materials or damaged the wood.
• Vent and pipe seals: We inspect the rubber seals and flashing around pipes that pass through the roof. We look for cracks, gaps and deterioration that could let water into the roof.
• 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 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.

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 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. Inspect the underside of the roofWe look for water stains on the attic side of the wooden roof deck. We use the location, color and condition of attic stains to judge whether the moisture appears active, older or related to condensation.
4. Report when no repair is neededIf the roof is in good condition and does not need immediate work, we say that clearly in the written report.
