Inspections

The Great Canadian Roof Doctor specializes in roof inspections. We will inspect your roof in person by physically walking around your roof and or using a drone to collect photos to correlate with a written report.

For your insurance company, or for your own peace of mind, we are proficient in roof inspection. We make the process easy and painless for our customers.

A roof inspector will be looking for unusual wear and tear, damage caused by wind blown debris, organic growth issues, problems that may have occurred during shingle installation or subsequent repairs, or issues that are solely due to weather and time that should be addressed as preventative maintenance.

Let Us Tell You More!

Why?

Roof inspections are essential for several reasons:

  • Identifying and addressing issues early: Regular inspections help detect any problems or potential damage early on, allowing for timely repairs and preventing more extensive and costly issues.
  • Extending roof lifespan: By catching and fixing problems promptly, you can extend the life of your roof significantly.
  • Validating warranties: Many roof warranties require regular inspections to remain valid, so keeping up with inspections can protect your investment.

When?

It is recommended to have your roof inspected at least twice a year, preferably during the spring and fall. Additionally, you should schedule an inspection after any severe weather event, such as storms or heavy snowfall.

Common issues to look out for:

Missing, damaged, or curling shingles | Cracked or worn-out flashing around chimneys and vents | Clogged gutters and down spouts | Leaks or water stains on the ceiling | Sagging areas on the roof | Signs of moss, mould, or algae growth | Improperly sealed roof vents or pipe collars.

Who?

While homeowners can do a visual inspection from the ground, it is best to hire a professional roofing company for a comprehensive inspection and especially to inspect commercial buildings. Use a professional roofing company like “THE Great Canadian Roof Doctor”. We have the expertise and experience to identify potential issues that might go unnoticed by an untrained eye. We will also when required use drone technology to inspect those hard to reach places.

What?

A thorough roof inspection involves several steps:

  • Exterior Inspection: The roofer will examine the roof’s exterior, looking for signs of damage, wear, or aging. This includes checking the shingles, flashing, gutters, and chimney.
  • Interior Inspection: If possible, the roofer will also inspect the interior of the attic or crawl space. This helps identify leaks, water damage, or inadequate insulation.
  • Documentation: The inspector will document any issues found, taking photographs and making notes to provide a clear assessment of the roof’s condition.
  • Recommendations: Based on the inspection results, the roofer will provide recommendations for repairs or maintenance, if necessary.

Maintenance

Once the inspection is complete, the roofer will advise you on the necessary maintenance and repairs. Timely action is vital to prevent further damage and maintain the roof’s structural integrity.

Having your roof inspected by a professional at least twice a year, allows you to catch issues early, extend the lifespan of your roof, and ensure a safe and secure home. Prevention is always better and more cost-effective than dealing with major repairs due to neglect.
