Atlanta roof inspector shares roof inspection details in Georgia

Is your home inspector inspecting the roof?

As an Atlanta home inspector, depending on if the conditions are favorable and I am neither at

physical risk nor in danger of damaging materials, I try an walk most roofs. However, in most states, they are not required to do this. In the winter weather conditions might render a roof hazardous. An inspectors’ report must state however, by what mechanism they were able to visually inspect a roof and what areas of the roof were visible. It’s important that they document every small detail of what has been observed for their own liability purposes. A home inspector cannot be held responsible for a roof leak he was not able to visually observe. Where does that leave you as a client, when the home inspector you chose does not walk the roofs?  Here lately, I have been on several roofs and realize that from the ground there is no way I would have found certain defects. 

Roof Inspection Details

My home inspection final report is often lengthy and the roof is only one aspect. Typical information that should be included on your report is the type of roofing material used. By far the most common material is asphalt shingle, but there are other popular roof coverings, as well, including stone, metal, and wood.

When visible, I will include detail conditions of chimneys, skylights and other roof structures, noting especially flashing, seams and following clues for any signs of leaks or structural breach. And, of course, there will be the visible inspection of the roofing material itself and the general condition, possibly its age and any repair issues.
