A roofing inspection involves a review of the condition of the roof and surface material, including visual checks for cracks, weather damage, and signs of leakage. Roofing inspections involve an inspection of any dormers, chimneys, eaves, gutters, and any flashing points to see if they require maintenance or repair. In addition, a roofing inspector will look at interior surfaces, trusses, and chimney for any cause for concern. Key observations, including leaking, are noted and recommendations and roofing life spans are often provided by your roofing inspector.
