Your roof and attic are essential components of home protection, as they guard against the elements and maintain the home’s temperature and structural integrity. A Roofing and Attic Inspection focuses on ensuring these key areas are in good condition:
- Roof Condition: Inspecting shingles for damage or wear, checking for leaks, and ensuring proper waterproofing helps prevent water damage and mold growth.
- Flashing and Gutters: Properly sealed flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights is necessary to prevent leaks. Clear, functional gutters direct water away from the roof and foundation.
- Attic Inspection: Inspectors check for signs of water damage, pests, or mold. They also evaluate insulation levels and airflow, which are vital for energy efficiency.
- Roof Structure: The roof’s framework needs to be strong and intact. Any issues with the structure can lead to significant problems down the line.
- Signs of Mold or Rot: Moisture buildup in the attic or on the roof can lead to wood rot or mold, which can spread and damage your home.
A roofing and attic inspection ensures your home remains dry, safe, and energy-efficient by catching problems before they become costly.
