What is included in a roofing maintenance program?
Forensic experts use a variety of tools and methodologies to perform a thorough investigation, including:
- Regular inspections: Professional inspections to assess the condition of all roofing components, including flashing, vents, and the roof membrane.
- Minor repairs: Addressing small issues like sealing around pipes and vents, tightening fasteners, and performing minor leak repairs.
- Debris removal: Clearing leaves, sticks, and other debris that can clog gutters and drainage systems.
- Gutter maintenance: Cleaning and repairing gutters to ensure proper water flow away from the roof and foundation.
- Detailed reporting: Providing a written report with photos to document the roof’s condition and recommend any necessary actions.
- Seasonal preparedness: Checking the roof before harsh weather seasons, such as winter and spring storms, to ensure it is prepared for potential damage.
- Structural checks: Assessing the structural integrity of the roof and attic to identify any moisture or damage.
