Roof Inspection

What Do Our Roofing Contractors Inspect?

Every building is different. Our roofing contractors consider the roof’s age, design, materials, weather exposure, and maintenance history.

Depending on accessibility and the type of roof, we may examine:

• The general condition of the roof surface
• Cracks, punctures, loose materials, and exposed areas
• Seams, fasteners, flashing, and roof edges
• Vents, pipes, curbs, and other penetrations
• Gutters, drains, scuppers, and drainage systems
• Signs of ponding water on a flat roof
• Previous repairs and sealed areas
• Visible signs of leaks or moisture intrusion
• Wind, rain, and storm damage
• Wear affecting shingles, coatings, membranes, or metal roofing

A professional roof inspection looks at how these parts work together. This provides a clearer understanding of the roof’s condition than reviewing one damaged area by itself.

What Happens During an Inspection?

A professional roof inspection typically follows four straightforward steps.

1. We Discuss Your Concerns

Tell us about active leaks, recent storms, previous repairs, drainage concerns, or changes you have noticed inside the building.

2. We Inspect the Roof

Our team evaluates accessible sections of the roofing system. We look for visible defects, weather-related wear, and areas that may require maintenance or further attention.

3. We Explain Our Findings

We explain what we found and identify which concerns should be addressed first. When appropriate, inspection reports can help document the condition of different roof sections.

4. We Recommend the Next Step

If work is needed, we provide practical recommendations. The next step may involve preventive maintenance, a targeted repair, continued monitoring, or planning for future replacement.

When additional documentation is required, ask our team about the information that can be included in a detailed report.

Inspections for Commercial Buildings

The roof protects more than the structure. It also protects employees, tenants, inventory, equipment, and daily operations.

Ramcon Roofing Systems provides commercial roof inspection services for:

• Offices and retail centers
• Warehouses and industrial facilities
• Apartment and multi-family properties
• Schools, churches, and other commercial buildings

Our team understands that access, safety, scheduling, and business operations can influence how commercial roofing work is planned. We aim to provide useful answers while minimizing disruption to the property.

When Should You Schedule an Inspection?

Consider scheduling an inspection:

• After strong winds, heavy rain, or hail
• When a leak or ceiling stain appears
• If water remains on a flat roof
• Before purchasing or leasing a property
• Before installing rooftop equipment
• When preparing a maintenance budget
• If the roof has required repeated repairs
• When no recent inspection records are available

Annual inspections are a useful starting point for many properties. Older roofs and roofs exposed to severe weather may need more frequent attention.

If you notice signs of damage, hire a professional instead of walking onto the roof yourself. Roofing surfaces can be slippery, unstable, or difficult to access safely.
