Common Roof Problems Home Inspectors Look For

Home inspectors routinely scrutinize several key issues when evaluating the condition of a roof, essential for maintaining the integrity of a home. Common problems they look for include missing or damaged shingles, which can expose the roof to water damage and leaks. They also check for improper flashing around vents, chimneys, and skylights, as these are frequent sites for leaks that can lead to significant interior damage. Additionally, inspectors assess the condition of the gutters and downspouts to ensure they are securely attached and free from debris, as clogged or damaged gutter systems can lead to water backing up and damaging the roof or the home’s foundation. Signs of aging or wear, such as curling or buckling shingles, are also noted, as these can indicate a roof nearing the end of its useful life and potentially requiring replacement.
