Inspection Procedures and Best Practices
We follow a clear process for inspecting flat roofs to ensure warranty compliance and support claims. Timely inspections, thorough on-site checks, and detailed reports are essential to maintain roof integrity and document conditions accurately.
Scheduled Inspection Timelines
We set inspection schedules based on the roofing material, age, and warranty terms. Commonly, inspections occur twice a year—once in spring and once in fall—to catch seasonal damage early.
More frequent checks happen if the roof has a history of issues or after severe weather events like storms or heavy snowfall. Staying on schedule helps prevent small problems from becoming costly repairs.
Our system tracks these timelines and alerts us when inspections are due. This ensures no inspection is missed and we uphold the warranty conditions.
On-Site Assessment Protocols
We begin every inspection with a visual scan of the entire roof surface. We look for cracks, blisters, ponding water, loose materials, and any signs of wear or damage.
Next, we examine drains and gutters to ensure proper water flow. Blocked drainage can cause leaks and structural damage. We use tools like moisture meters and thermal cameras when needed to detect hidden issues under the roofing membrane. Safety gear and protocols are always in place during inspections.
Our trained technicians document all observations systematically to support warranty claims if necessary.
Photographic and Written Reporting
We capture clear, high-resolution photos of all areas inspected, focusing on any damage or irregularities. Photos are time-stamped and labeled by location on the roof.
Our written reports include inspection dates, weather conditions, and detailed notes on findings. We describe materials, problem areas, and recommended actions.
Reports are organized into easy-to-read formats with sections and bullet points. This makes it simple for property owners and warranty providers to understand the roof’s condition. All documentation is stored securely and shared promptly to assist with any warranty reviews or claims.
