Our Comprehensive Roof Inspection Process
Our detailed roof inspection provides a complete and thorough evaluation of residential roofs. We aim to identify all areas of concern, both big and small. We carefully document our findings and provide clear recommendations.
Shingle Assessment
We meticulously examine your shingles, checking for signs of damage such as cracking, curling, blistering, or missing granules. These are all key indicators of wear and tear and whether shingles are fulfilling their intended function. We’re looking for anything that could compromise their performance or lead to leaks.
Flashing Inspection
Flashing, typically made of metal, is installed around chimneys, vents, skylights, and other roof penetrations to prevent water intrusion. We carefully inspect all flashing, checking for rust, damage, improper installation, and ensure proper sealing to effectively guard against water leaks. Damaged flashing is a leading cause of roof leaks and needs to be professionally addressed.
Gutter Examination
Gutters play a critical role in draining water away from your roof and foundation. We examine your gutters for clogs, damage, leaks, and proper drainage. Clean and functioning gutters are essential for preventing water damage to your roof, siding, and foundation. We can offer solutions for repairing or even replacing poorly functioning gutters.
Ventilation Check
Proper roof ventilation is crucial for regulating temperature and preventing moisture buildup in your attic. We inspect your vents to ensure they are clear, unobstructed, and providing adequate airflow. Correct ventilation helps prevent ice dams in the winter, reduces attic temperatures in the summer, extends the life of your roof, and even saves you money on energy bills.
Structural Evaluation
Our team assesses the overall structural integrity of your roof, looking for signs of sagging, rot, or other damage that could compromise its stability. We'll thoroughly assess the underlying decking and framing to identify any developing problems. A solid structure is paramount for a safe and reliable roof.
Interior Inspection
This includes a look inside the attic to check for leaks, water stains, mold, or other signs of roof damage. This helps us detect issues undetectable from the outside. We'll assess insulation levels and look for any signs of moisture intrusion which indicates condensation issues or penetration of water from the outside of the roof.
Common Roofing Problems Detected During Inspections
Missing Shingles
Missing shingles expose the underlayment and decking to the elements, leading to water damage, rotting, and structural problems. Shingles protect your roof from rain, snow, and sun. Missing shingles need immediate attention to defend against further damage to your Fountain Valley home. Replacement shingles, applied by experienced roofers can quickly resolve this problem.
Cracked or Curled Shingles
These issues indicate that shingles are aging and losing their protective properties. Cracked or curled shingles are less effective at shedding water and can lead to leaks and deterioration of the roof deck. This makes roofs more vulnerable, particularly during severe weather. Replacing damaged and degraded shingles maintains the integrity of your roof offering reliable protection for years to come.
Water Stains
Water stains on ceilings or walls are a sign of an active roof leak. Ignoring water stains can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and costly repairs. These require immediate attention to prevent further damage. Our experienced team will find and seal the leak to save you from further damage and potential health hazards.
Sagging Roof Deck
A sagging roof deck indicates structural weakness and potential collapse. Sagging could be caused by water damage, rot, or inadequate support. This poses a significant safety hazard that must be addressed immediately. We can assess the damage and recommend the proper reinforcement to ensure the safety of your home and family and the stability of your entire roofing structure.
Clogged Gutters
Clogged gutters prevent water from draining properly, leading to overflows that can damage your roof, siding, and foundation. Standing water in gutters can also attract pests and cause ice dams in winter. Regular gutter cleaning or installation of gutter guards ensures proper water flow and protects your home. Preventing this helps protect the beauty and integrity of your property for years to come.
Many times we see poor workmanship from the installation of the roof. Workmanship issues can result in future problems and need to be addressed immediately: such as substandard materials used, incorrectly installed flashing, and substandard sealing of vents, chimneys, or skylights. This can create water penetration around vulnerable areas. If we identify areas of concern we will provide a detailed explanation.
Signs You Need A Roof Inspection
- Visible roof damage: Missing, cracked, or curling shingles are signs of damage.
- Roof leaks: Stains on interior walls or ceilings, or water entering the house during rain, are indicators.
- Age: If your roof is over 20 years old, have it inspected.
