Roof Exterior Inspection

The inspector will start by visually examining the roof's exterior from the ground level, assessing its overall condition, and identifying any visible signs of damage or wear. He or she will look for missing, cracked, curled, or damaged shingles or tiles, as well as any signs of rust or corrosion on metal roofs. The condition of flashing, which seals roof joints and penetrations, will be checked around chimneys, vents, skylights, and other roof protrusions. The gutters and downspouts will be inspected to ensure they are clear of debris and properly functioning

Roof Surface Inspection

Our professional inspector will climb up on the roof (if safe and accessible) or use a drone to conduct a closer inspection of the roof surface.

He or she will check for any additional issues that may not be visible from the ground, such as damaged or deteriorated roofing materials.

Attic or Roof Space Inspection

In some cases, the inspector may need to access the attic or roof space from inside the building to look for signs of water leaks, moisture, or insulation problems.

He or she will check for water stains, mold, or rot, which can indicate roof leaks or ventilation issues.

Ventilation Assessment

Proper roof ventilation is vital to maintain the health of the roof and prevent moisture-related problems. The inspector will evaluate the ventilation system to ensure it’s functioning correctly.

Structural Evaluation

Austin Roofing Company’s inspector will assess the roof’s structural integrity, looking for signs of sagging or other issues that may affect the roof’s stability.

Documentation and Report

Based on the inspection findings, our roofing professional will provide expert recommendations on any necessary repairs or maintenance needed to address the identified issues.

He or she may also offer advice how to maintain the roof’s integrity and prolong its lifespan.
