What is a Roofing Inspection?
A roofing inspection plays an important role in keeping the roofing system in excellent shape for years to come. A thoroughly conducted inspection
can not only verify the roofing system's overall health, but also alert prospective buyers and sellers to issues that could affect its longevity.
Most lending agencies require a roofing inspection to be performed during the home buying process, since it can protect unwary buyers from unforeseen
and potentially expensive pitfalls.
A Roofing Inspection Checklist
A typical roofing inspection checklist may start with the inspector visually assessing the roof from the ground. Armed with a pair of binoculars, the inspector will look for obvious signs of wear, tear and damage, including broken, loose, or severely curved shingles, missing shingles and sagging at the ridges.After the ground-based inspection, the inspector may decide to climb on the roof and take a closer look at its current state. Here are a few things you can expect your inspector to do during this time:
- Check for broken or exposed nails
- Look for damaged or missing flashing
- Check the gutters and other areas for excessive shingle granule loss
- Closely inspect the fascia board for signs of damage or deterioration
- Look for rust or corrosion on the metal flashing
- Check for cracked caulk on flashing
- Inspect areas that may be prone to leaks, including the roof valleys
- Check the vent pipe rubber boots for signs of cracks and wear
- Check for signs of algae growth
- Inspect the drains, gutters and downspouts
