Roof inspection

Investing in annual roof inspection and maintenance helps prevent costly damage. Studies have shown that it costs up to five times less to carry out annual inspection and maintenance than to pay for major repairs. Water infiltration over several months can damage ceilings and walls in your home or business, potentially costing tens of thousands of dollars.

In addition, water and moisture can damage computers, electronic equipment and electrical systems. Mold caused by water infiltration can also pose serious risks to your respiratory health.

A roof inspection and annual maintenance allow small issues to be addressed before they become major problems. Whether it involves resealing rooftop equipment (vents, exhaust fans, skylights, etc.), repairing a small tear in a membrane or replacing missing or lifted shingles, the cost is minimal compared to the peace of mind gained. It also helps extend the lifespan of your roofing system.

Roof inspections and preventive maintenance should be carried out by a roofing contractor trained and certified by the manufacturer of your roofing system, at least twice a year—once in the fall and once at the end of winter. It is also recommended to have your roof inspected after ice storms, heavy rainfall or strong winds.

The master roofer performing your roof inspection will check the overall condition and watertightness of the roofing system. They will also inspect sealing around rooftop equipment (vents, exhaust fans, chimneys, skylights, etc.), drains, metal flashing and all joints. In addition, the amount of granules on EPDM roofing or elastomeric membrane roofing must be sufficient. Any anomalies or issues must be documented and reported to the property owner.
