Old Time Roofing‘s comprehensive, honest, and professional roof inspection services aim to detect potential issues before they turn into expensive issues. Here is our inspection process in detail as we ensure every square inch of your roof is evaluated with meticulous precision.
Step-by-Step Roof Inspection Guide
Initial Consultation and Roof Access
Every professional inspection begins with an in-person consultation between our certified roofing experts from Old Time Roofing and you. At this initial meeting, they’ll go over your concerns, past roofing work and any visible issues before safely accessing your roof using ladders and harnesses in accordance with industry safety standards – then visually assessing it from both ground-level views as well as from roofline height to spot any obvious damage or wear and tear.
Exterior Inspection
Outdoor inspection is where most of our work occurs, where we conduct an intensive review: “Wenting Out”, to inspect for missing, cracked and curled roof shingles which could indicate wear-and-tear damages and identify signs of deterioration that indicate necessary replacement or repair work is warranted.
Flashing and Seals – We inspect areas around chimneys, skylights and vents for damage or improper sealing to determine any necessary repair measures or adjustments.
Gutters and Drainage – Ensuring proper drainage is of vital importance; blocked or broken gutters may allow water to back up onto your roof or siding and cause serious structural damage to both.
Fascia and Soffits – These often-forgotten sections provide airflow into your attic space while protecting rooflines from rainwater build-up.
Are You Wondering What To Expect During A Roof Inspection?
Know that we notice every sign. Throughout the inspection phase we note the slightest irregularity which could indicate long-term damage, even small ones like cracks on roof tiles can signal serious problems.
Interior Inspection
Roof issues usually surface internally before becoming obvious on the exterior, which is why we inspect both your: Attic space – For moisture, mold growth, insulation issues and proper ventilation concerns;
Ceilings and walls – Stains, cracks or bubbly paint could indicate roof leaks on either your ceilings or walls.
Structural Elements – Rafters and support beams should be closely examined for signs of sagging or rot, including signs that they have come loose from their position on their supports.
Our comprehensive interior check enables us to spot hidden issues and identify leakage sources quickly and effectively.
