As a Pro Panel roofer in Santa Fe we offer free roof inspections and estimates, if you would like one, call 505-919-8011. If you would rather perform your own roof inspection, here’s a checklist to get you started:
- Inspect all gutters, scuppers and drains for twigs, leaves, dirt and debris. They can cause damage, and restrict or plug normal flow, preventing positive drainage. Check the screens, strainers, fasteners and seals to assure that there is no leakage.
- Inspect rooftop penetrations for seals that might have been broken during maintenance procedures.
- Look for cracks and splits along roof edges, expansion and control joints and other roof system terminations. Thoroughly inspect metal flashing and coping joints to ensure that they are sealed effectively. Masonry walls should be checked for moisture penetration, deterioration or delamination.
- Check the surface area for physical and mechanical damage caused by tools, hail, vandalism, excessive foot traffic, etc.
- Check for erosion, pinholes and cracks. If there is foam or built-up roofing system underneath, check for moisture in this area. You can do this by cutting a small V in the roofing system, inspecting it and then patching the v-cut, or by using a non-destructive moisture meter.
