Benefit |
| Replace up to 21 standard shingle tabs that are cracked, broken or missing. |
- Prevents development of avoidable leaks.
|
| Repair any cracked or missing hip or ridge caps through the peak or corners of the roof assembly. |
- Prevents water penetration.
|
| Re-seal all plumbing stack flanges between the plumbing stack and the water-shedding base flashing. |
|
| Re-seal all chimney flashings. |
- Insures adherence of the metal flashing detail that surrounds the base of the chimney and prevents water penetration where the flashing component adjoins the chimney.
|
| Clean out eavestroughs. |
- Allows trough system to drain effectively, prevents uncontrolled water run-off to areas where water accumulation could be damaging.
|
| Check for blocked downpipes. |
- Allows eavestrough system to drain effectively and avoids backup or splitting of downpipes in cold temperatures.
|
| Check seal flashings around skylights. |
- Identifies and seals leaks and/or provides remedial caulking until a more permanent solution can be implemented.
|
| Inspect valleys / caulk minor fissures or splits. |
- Early repair of heavily worn areas can extend the usable life and help avoid potential leaks until the roof is ready for replacement.
|
| Check & seal flashings at walls. |
- Sealant will dry out and crack at key junctions of metal flashing, such as where a slope adjoins a wall. Re-sealing helps prevent water intrusion through these vulnerable areas.
|
| Inspect roof and report any recommendations. |
- Provides a professional appraisal of key roof components and predicted longevity.
This makes it easier to budget for predictable future repair or replacement of the roof, and provides assurance to insurers that the integrity of a roof system warrants renewal of the policy.
In addition, you receive a report on the condition of related building envelope components, such as your chimney or siding.
|
| Report on condition of associated flat roof dormers /addition flat. |
- Unlike sloped roofs, flat roofs are not visible from ground level.
In addition, it takes an inspection by a roofing professional to spot problem areas on a flat roof while it is still possible to correct the problem before a water leak develops.
|
| Exterior ventilation check (soffits & roof). |
- Identifying and correcting ventilation problems is critical because poor ventilation can reduce the longevity of shingles, reduce home comfort and lead to condensation that can contribute to ice dam formation in winter.
