Residential Roof Inspections Kansas City – Roof Inspection Services

Roof Inspection Kansas City

Firehouse Roofing KC offers inspections for homeowners, business owners, realtors, or for customers that are interested in purchasing a new home in the Kansas City Metro and Johnson County.

Your home’s roof is the first line of defense against storms and extreme weather, be it a foot of snow dropping on it or high winds that tear through the town. Unfortunately, many homeowners place blind faith in their roof and neglect it completely until the first sign of a leak appears in the ceiling, and thus could be facing much larger problems of unwanted structural issues, mold growth, or more.

Spare yourself a headache down the road by having your roof periodically inspected. Contact Firehouse Roofing today for a roof inspection and consultation with our experienced staff.

Firehouse Roofing KC Inspection Process

Our trained experts will provide a thorough examination of all roofing components to determine the current performance of your roof and what, if anything, needs to be done to correct any problems.

Non-Storm Damage Inspections

• Layers of Roofing Material – The number of layers your roof currently has will determine the number of extra layers that need to be torn off while writing your roof replacement estimate. If it is for a roof leak, it helps when tracking down the source for repairs.
• Condition of your roof’s decking – we will be able to determine if it is solid or spongy. Unfortunately, it is impossible to check the exact condition during a roof inspection without tearing off the shingles.
• Roofing Material – we will inspect the condition to determine how much time your roof has left and look for any problems that need to be addressed.
• Roof penetrations, chimneys, and skylights – all penetrations (anything sticking out through your roof, such as chimneys, gas vents, vent pipes, roof vents etc.) are inspected to ensure they are fully sealed and leak-free.
• Roof Flashing – is a crucial component in areas that butt up against something, such as a wall, chimney, or open valleys, to prevent leaks. It is one of the most important things that we check during a roof inspection.
• Gutters & Downspouts – we will look for cracks or open seams and any blockages that hinder drainage, and for standing water to determine if the gutters are tilted in the wrong direction.
• Soffits and Fascia and Drip Edge – we will look at the condition of the soffit material covering the roof overhang to see if any water has made its way behind the fascia and drip edges.
• Attic – stains or other water damage are easily spotted on the bare wood in the attic and will tell you exactly where a roof problem has occurred.

Storm Damage Inspections

Ground Level Inspection – Conduct visual inspection of collateral damage to objects at ground level such as:

• Dents, dings, strikes, or holes to downspouts, garage doors, siding, window screens, window wraps, painted or unpainted wood or shutters, fence, and deck (above 5 feet)
• Splatter marks or dings to your electric meter, AC unit, or grill
• Dents to your mailbox and other soft metals on your property
• Shingles on the ground
• Missing siding, granules on the ground by downspouts

Roof Level Inspection – Conduct visual inspection from roof level for storm damage on your roof:

• Dings or dents to gutters.
• Check gutters for granular loss.
• Damage to roof flashing, roof vents and valley metal – look for dents and dings that clearly show signs of hail damage. If hail was strong enough to dent the metal, your roof will have damage to other areas.
• The condition of your shingles – for wind damage, we look for any missing, lifted, or creased shingles; for hail damage, we look for dings or dents large enough to damage the shingles. We also look for signs of granular loss from hail continuously hitting your roof.
