Structure - Hearth and Home Inspections

Roof

Your inspector will always do a visual inspection of the roof from the ground. If weather and structure permits, your inspector may also get onto the roof and do a closer visual inspection from there. The inspector will notify you of any defective or improper flashings, damaged shingles and any uneven or sagging roof areas that could create water traps or leaks. Your inspector will also inform you of any tree limb contact that could pose a hazard as well as any gutter issues they can see. Roof inspections are one of the most important parts of a home inspection, as roof imperfections can lead to much more significant problems, such as leaks and structure damage if not maintained properly.
