Roof Inspection Report
Your roof inspection report will help you understand the condition of your roof. The report will include crucial information, such as the roofing material, its current condition, and any damage or potential issues that may require immediate attention. This will ensure your roof stays in optimal condition and that you can continue with your normal operations.
Common Findings
- Visual Inspection: We will describe the general condition of the roofing material, flashings, and drainage system.
- Moisture Testing: This indicates areas where water may be penetrating the roofing system, which could lead to leaks or structural damage over time.
- Detailed Photographs: Images provide a visual guide to any damage and can act as evidence in case you need to file an insurance claim.
- Cost Estimates: We will include a breakdown of the costs involved for any necessary repairs.
Understanding Key Terms
- Flashings: These are materials used to weatherproof or seal the roof system at areas where the roof joins, or ‘flashes,’ against other building structures.
- Membrane: In flat roofing, this term refers to the waterproof layer that covers the building.
- Deck: This is the foundational layer of your roof, usually made of wood, concrete, or metal.
Steps to Take
Understanding your report is the first step in taking appropriate action. The next step is to decide how to address the issues detected in the inspection. You may choose to repair, restore, or in some cases, replace your commercial roof. If cost is a concern, we can list the issues in order of importance, helping you understand which tasks to prioritize.
