A Roof Inspection May Help You Avoid A Roof Replacement For Your Pensacola Area Home

Scheduling a roof inspection for your Pensacola home or business is a wise preventative measure because a secure roof is a vital component to a safe building. If your roof is neglected until there are troubling issues, you may be dealing with underlying predicaments, such as damaged insulation or mold growth. You can avoid these problems and prolong the life of your roof by having it inspected.

What Happens During a Roof Inspection

A professional roof inspection provides valuable insight about its condition. An inspection involves checking for damage and potential problems by examining all facets of the roof, including:

Structure - Looking for signs of sagging or uneven roof planes. Seeing if the fascia, soffit, and gutter system are in good condition. The chimney is also inspected for wear and tear.

Workmanship - Finding any flaws in how the roof was installed can identify potential risks for future damage.

Materials - Checking for issues such as rust, moss, staining, or warped, loose, or missing shingles help evaluate if the roof is deteriorating.

Interior - Inspecting the attic, ceilings, and walls of the interior of the building can identify water stains or mold, which indicates that water is making its way inside, and a roof repair is called for.

The inspector will provide you with a report that details the condition of your roof and whether any repairs, treatments, or a roof replacement are necessary.
