Has your roof started to leak? Or is it about to collapse anytime? Whatever situation you are in, getting the roof inspection done is a good way to learn about the current issues and potential roofing problems.
In order to begin with the Austin Home improvement journey here are the things which should be checked during the inspection process.
● Attic ventilation
The first thing that should be checked during the Austin home improvement is the Attic ventilation. This is done to ensure that it is properly ventilated or not and understand if your attic could breathe.
In case the attic is not properly ventilated, then the service provider would understand that the roof is going to have issues.
● Layers of the roof
Next comes checking the layers of the roof that your house has. Understanding the layers would determine the level of treatment your roof requires.
It could either start from complete roof replacement or just tearing off some extra layers.
● Roof leaks and shingles
Starting with the pretty obvious roofing inspection process which is checking for roof leaks. The service provider would inspect the leaks that are leaving water stains in the ceiling.
After this comes the checking for the nails driven in sideways that causes little bumps on the roof or the nails which hit cracks and back out.
● Chimney
Chimneys are roof penetration and they cannot be ignored during the roof inspection process. The service provider would check the flashing, condition of the mortar, and the chimney chap as well.

If there’s anything growing out of the mortar, then it may start causing problems.
● Gutter guards
Lastly, come the Gutter guards and the downspouts. The service provider makes sure that there are no cracks open or blockages are found that could restrict the flow.
Besides that, they would also check the standing water. In case the gutter guards are seen in poor conditions, then the roofing service provider would ask you to replace it.
