Roof Inspections 101

At Eustis Roofing, we follow a comprehensive roof inspection checklist to ensure every part of your roof is thoroughly evaluated. Here’s what our roof inspection services cover to keep your roof in top shape:

• Inspect roofing materials. We assess the condition of shingles, tiles, or metal panels, noting any wear and tear or missing pieces. Damaged or loose materials can lead to roof leaks and require prompt attention to avoid costly repairs.
• Check for roof leaks. We look for signs of water infiltration, especially around vulnerable areas such as chimneys, skylights, and valleys. Roof leaks can cause extensive interior damage if not addressed promptly.
• Evaluate gutters and downspouts. Damaged gutters can lead to improper water drainage, resulting in water pooling on the roof and causing rot or leaks. We ensure all gutters and downspouts are intact and functioning properly.
• Inspect flashing and seals. Flashing around vents, chimneys, and edges is checked for cracks or gaps, as these areas are prone to leaks. We’ll recommend necessary repairs to prevent future water infiltration.
• Assess roof structure. We examine the roof’s structure for any sagging or uneven areas, which could indicate compromised roofing materials or underlying structural issues.
• Inspect for signs of mold, mildew, or rot. Mold and mildew often signal moisture problems, typically resulting from poor ventilation or hidden leaks, while rot indicates prolonged exposure to moisture that has started to degrade the wood or other materials. If left untreated, mold, mildew, and rot can severely weaken the structure of your roof, reduce its lifespan, and potentially lead to costly repairs.
• Look for storm damage. After severe weather, we check for damage caused by debris, fallen limbs, or heavy winds, ensuring your roof can withstand the elements. We recommend roof inspection and repair services, especially in hurricane-prone areas like Orlando and Central Florida.
• Evaluate the need for a new roof. Our inspectors assess whether your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan or if roof repairs can extend its durability. If a new roof is needed, we’ll guide you through the options best suited for your home and budget.
• Provide a detailed inspection report. After the inspection, we provide a comprehensive inspection report, outlining the current state of your roof and any recommended repairs or maintenance.

This checklist helps ensure that our clients in Orlando and Central Florida have a roof ready to withstand the elements and serve them well for years to come. Call Eustis Roofing today for a thorough inspection!
