Whats Up
When inspecting the roof we will:
Inspect the roofing surface, excluding antennae and other installed accessories such as solar heating systems, lightning arresters, and satellite dishes; roof drainage systems; flashing; skylights; and exterior of chimneys;
We will describe the roof surface; roof drainage systems; flashing; skylights; and chimneys;
We will employ reasonable, practicable and safe methods to inspect the roof such as: walking on the roof; observation from a ladder at roof level; or visual examination with binoculars from ground level; and describe the methods used to inspect the roof.
ROOF MAINTENANCE GUIDE FOR HOME OWNERS
Trim back tree branches that scrape against or overhang the roof. Keep branches away from chimney to avoid fire hazard and allow proper draft for safe and efficient chimney operation.
Check for curled, damaged, loose, or missing shingles.
Check the lower edge of roof sheathing for water damage.
Examine all roof flashing and the flashing around chimneys, vent stacks, roof edges, dormers, and skylights.
Make sure that the chimney cover (cap) is in good condition, and that it is tall enough to prevent creosote build-up.
Check vents and louvers for free air movement. Clean screens and remove bird nests, spiders, insects, and dust.
If there are wind turbines on the roof, check ball bearings. Clear gable vents of bird's nests and other obstructions.
Check for damaged gutters, downspouts, hangers, and strainers. If needed, clean out gutters and downspouts. Make sure they are free from leaks and rust.
Check the condition of paint on gutters.
Examine television antenna guy wires and support straps
