During the fall season, conduct a comprehensive roof inspection. Ensure you are comfortable with heights before conducting a roof inspection. Otherwise, call a professional roofing contractor to schedule an inspection.

Inspecting sloped roofs:

Check for dark stains that may signify algae and fungus growth

Clean clogged gutters

Remove debris

Repair any damage to flashing

Inspecting flat roofs:

Check for cracks in roofing felt

Check for any spongy spots that may signify a water leak

Check condition of supports of air conditioners and other mechanical equipment secured to roof

Repair any flashing damage

Don’t forget to check the inside of the building as well. Look for brown spots or rings on the ceiling or water stains on the wall. These signs may illustrate a roof leak.
