What We Examine

As part of our recent property inspections, we’ve been paying close attention to one of the most critical elements of any home — the roof. A thorough roof inspection can uncover hidden issues that affect both safety and property value, whether it’s a modern build or an older home.

What We Check During Roof Inspections

During our inspections, we carefully examine:

• Tiles and shingles: Looking for cracks, damage, or missing pieces.

• Water damage: Checking for leaks, stains, or damp areas inside and outside the home.

• Roof structure: Assessing support beams, sagging, or other structural concerns.

• Gutters and drainage: Ensuring water flows correctly and gutters are free of blockages.

• Pest damage: Signs of nests or chewing from birds, rodents, or insects.

Common Issues We’ve Found

Across our recent inspections, some recurring roof issues include:

• Broken or displaced tiles from storms or wear.

• Leaks near vents, chimneys, or flat roof areas.

• Moss, algae, or lichen buildup that can reduce lifespan.

• Blocked or rusted gutters that can lead to water damage.

Why Roof Inspections Matter

Roof inspections are an essential part of our property checks because they:

• Identify minor problems before they become expensive repairs.

• Maintain safety and protect the structure of the home.

• Help homeowners make informed decisions when buying or selling.

Key Takeaways for Homeowners

• Schedule a professional roof inspection at least once a year.

• Address small leaks and damage promptly to avoid costly repairs.

• Include roof condition in your property inspection checklist — it’s one of the most important parts of your home.

Conclusion

Our latest property inspections highlight that a roof isn’t just something you see from the street — it’s a critical part of a home’s health. By inspecting roofs thoroughly, we help homeowners make informed decisions, protect their investment, and ensure the property is safe and secure.
