While the extent of a roof inspection may differ based on the individual requirements and the roofing material involved, here’s what you can expect from our standard roof inspection procedure at Fixify:

1. Visual Examination: Our inspectors perform an extensive visual check of the roofing from both ground level and atop. We look for any signs of deterioration such as missing shingles, leaks, or corrosion.
2. Structural Evaluation: We scrutinize the roof’s underlying structure, including the support beams, framework, and decking, ensuring everything is stable and secure to support the roofing material.
3. Drainage System Check: The functionality of the roof’s drainage elements, including the gutters, downpipes, and drainage openings, is evaluated to confirm their efficiently directing water off and away from the roof, reducing the risk of moisture damage.
4. Insulation Review: We assess the roofing insulation’s quality and installation, verifying it aligns with the latest building standards for optimal thermal efficiency.
5. Moisture Detection: With the aid of tools like moisture meters, we identify any concealed moisture within the roofing layers—a potential sign of leaks needing immediate attention.
6. Documentation: Throughout the inspection, our team captures photographs, takes measurements, and notes down significant findings to document the roof’s state and any issues detected.
7. Comprehensive Report: You’ll receive a detailed report from our roofing inspector summarizing the findings, highlighting any problems, suggesting repairs or maintenance strategies, and providing an estimate of potential costs.
