disclaimer

A home inspection is kind of like an annual check-up at the doctor. It’s used to make sure things are working properly & it can be useful in spotting things that might eventually become a problem

Some people actually think we come equipped with a crystal ball, a flux capacitor or even X-Ray vision! Unfortunately, we can’t go into the past, go “Back to the Future” or, like Superman, see through walls.

Disclaimers are boring so I won’t get into that but please understand we can only visually inspect what we see today. Every house is different just like every customer has different expectations of what a home inspection should be. However, we know some people like to read the report in its entirety. Attached we provided you with a full copy of our Standards of Practice & Disclaimers.

If you are reading this then obviously the details matter to you. You’d make a great home inspector.

Attic

The Hatch Entry: Issue: Evidence of condensation
Action: Improve hatch
Notes: Minor staining noted, but this can be easily rectified with better weatherstripping, more insulation on top of the hatch and consider latching the hatch for good compression

Hatch Weatherstripping: Issue: Compressed/detaching
Action: Upgrade/install
Notes: Neglect of this weatherstripping may lead to less desirable hatch effectiveness, allowing conditioned air into the attic soace above.

Attic Insulation: Issue: Missing baffles
Action: Install
Notes: This was noticed at the southwest corner of the attic space. They’re either buried or missing. This is not a hard fix but very important for proper ventilation.

Roof Sheathing: Issue: Rusty nails noted
Action: Improve outage L: Seen from hatch
Notes: It appears condition air is finding its way into a unconditioned space, causing condensation, frost, and potentially at a rain. This is an easy fix, let’s button her up.

Roof Check

Inside Gutter: Issue: Obstructed
Action: Further Evaluate L: NE Rear
Notes: This may lead to damming & poor performance if not rectified.

Roof Check (cont.)

Downspout: Issue: Missing Extension
Action: Improve
Notes: Considering the potential implications of this could help minimize future complications.

Overall Roof Condition: Issue: Bird faeces noted on ridge
Action: Consider installing spike

Factors That Affect Roof’s Lifespan: Issue: Minor bubbling of stack boot
Action: Improve
Notes: This is pretty typical with our extreme hot and cold cycles. Not the end of the world, but would like to see the ripple corrected.

Penetrations & Sealant: Issue: Insufficient clearance
Action: Extend/ add 8 inches L: SW Garage
Notes: This does not meet the minimum code. Extension needed, please photograph when completed.

Soft Spot Check 3: Issue: Noticeable soft point
Action: Reinforce L: SW Ridge
Notes: This was noted 4 feet in from SW corner of the ridge. Marked off with chalk.

Gutters & Scuppers: Issue: Chokepoint / ice dam potential
Action: Install heat trace cable T: Roofer L: NW
Notes: When you have two valleys converging into one small gutter, there’s a real potential for ice jamming. Please consider installing heat trace so that the water will flow instead of turning to ice.

Roof Inspection Overview

R BACK TO SUMMARY
		Objective 2 To identify signs of weakness, deterioration, or hazard. Objective 3 To identify needed repairs.
		Roof Systems can deteriorate from: normal wear; severe weather conditions (e.g., wind & snow loads); building movement (e.g., settlement, material contraction/ expansion); & improper design, construction & maintenance. Any roof repairs not dealt with after the first signs of failure can result in increased damage to the building envelope & interior finishes & loss of occupant productivity if damage causes interruption in client services & program delivery. Failure of structural integrity can endanger occupant safety.

Attic

A BACK TO SUMMARY		Attic structure Constructed to distribute the weight of the roof onto the exterior walls of the house.
		The Hatch Entry Consider using ridged foam board insulation & match the door insulation to that of the attic space. Evidence of condensation. Improve hatch. Hatch Weatherstripping Upgraded weatherstripping will help to mitigate any excess heat & moisture finding its way into the attic space. Compressed/detaching. Upgrade/install.
		Hatch Diagram Also known as the scuttle hole, the better the hatch door, the better you can control your home's climate. A proper cover consists of the following: (1) Attic Insulation, (2) Insulation Dam, (3) Air Seal Gasket, (4) Hatch insulation, (5) The Hatch Door.
		Attic Insulation Here are the materials that resist the conductive flow of heat. "The knit hat to the home." Missing baffles. Install.

Attic

		Insulation Depth There's no getting around it: If your house is in cold weather, keeping it warm in winter is expensive. Having the correct amount of attic insulation can help you maintain a comfortable temperature throughout your home & help save $$$ on your energy bills. *Plus, it could help prevent major issues like ice dams or even attic rain. QUICK FACTS: Attic insulation is the easiest & most cost-effective upgrade to a home. A properly insulated attic can save you an estimated 10-50% on your heating bill.
		Attic Structural Health High attic humidity usually shows up as dampness, rusty fasteners, or frost on the underside of the roof sheathing. Don’t rely on ventilation alone to take care of moisture in the attic. The best protection against condensation, mildew & rot is an air-tight ceiling. Make sure you keep that attic hatch latched for good compression between the hatch & the weatherstripping.

Attic

		Roof Sheathing The thin boards of wood that span the trusses and support the rest of the roof Rusty nails noted. Improve outage.
		Attic Sheathing “Roof Sheathing” Here are the boards or sheets that bridge the trusses or rafters.
		Attic Construction Overall Designed to support the roof with rafters or trusses.
		Attic Hatch Latch Attic Hatch Latch The goal is to match the R-value of the hatch to the overall attic R-value. Upgrading the weather stripping & installing a latch to the hatch will help compress the gasket & improve the attic hatch seal.

Attic

The Attic You may never have taken the time to look inside the attic of your home, but knowing its condition can save you $$$.

The access is usually in a discreet place like a closet & will require the use of a ladder or chair to climb up.

Pushing open the hatch, you'll most likely find a space that runs the length & width of your home & contains nothing more than insulation & the roof framing.

Not exactly glamorous, but it serves an essential structural purpose. IF it isn't properly maintained, it could cause you many headaches in the future.

The bottom line, your attic is an essential part of your home. A toque (sock hat) in winter, an umbrella in spring, & shade in the hot summers.

Roof Check

R BACK TO SUMMARY		Why do roofs leak? High winds, hail, snow, ice & deterioration, or defects in the material. Yearly maintenance will aid in leak avoidance.
		The Roof Material This is the outermost layer on the roof charged with providing shelter from the natural elements. Roof Observations Examined for continuity of material & coverage.
		Roof Utility Penetrations Used in roof assemblies to allow outside air to enter or exit. Such as vents, stacks, flues & others. Perform annual inspections. Roof Sealant Boots & flashings may need replacement & general upkeep over the years.
		Inside Gutter Regular cleaning of trough/scupper should be part of your yearly maintenance schedule. Obstructed. Further Evaluate. Soffit Keep clean & free of debris like vegetation. A very important facet of the home!

Roof Check+

		Roof Observations Examined for continuity of material & coverage. Support Photo
		Downspout For your records Missing Extension. Improve. Support Photo
		Valley Flashing These V-shaped channels run up & down the 'folds' of a roof. Maintain a clear path.

Roof Check

		Overall Roof Condition This inspection is ultimately looking to judge between: 1. Replace: Once a roof reaches a replacement-level rating, you are looking at significant expenditure to return it to an acceptable condition. 2. Restore: Roofs in this range are at about the midpoint in their life expectancy. 3. Repair & Maintain: Excellent to fair condition roofs still have a good lifespan remaining. Bird faeces noted on ridge. Consider installing spike.
		Factors That Affect Roof’s Lifespan Keep in mind that lifespans can be drastically reduced by certain factors such as: Climate & Extreme Weather BOTH can shorten your roof’s lifespan. Quality of the Roof Installation Even the most durable roofing system won’t last if it isn’t installed correctly. One tiny gap is all it takes for moisture to infiltrate the building. Frequency of Maintenance It doesn’t matter how durable your roof is—at a certain point, it will sustain some form of damage. And when it does, it needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Minor bubbling of stack boot. Improve.

Roof Check

		Roof Ventilation Their primary job is to provide an unobstructed exit for the heat, hot air, & moisture trapped in your attic. Roof Vents They extend the life of the roof, regulate indoor temperatures, & reduce the cost of energy.
		Sewer Stacks These vents are only used to vent sewer gas & to allow drains & toilets to operate efficiently. Sewer Stacks If you poke an additional hole into a soda pop can, the liquid will leave the can much quicker. This is how a stack vent works.
		Vents & Stacks Ventilation is KEY to the overall integrity of your roof. The plumbing vent, also known as a vent stack, helps regulate the air pressure in your plumbing system. The roof vents create proper airflow, which reduces moisture that can build up inside an attic. Ventilation is one of the most critical aspects of your home to help prevent condensation, which ultimately leads to mold, rot, & inevitably deterioration.

Roof Check

		Penetrations & Sealant Here to protect your roof from severe weather such as rain, snow, & heat. Ensuring your roof is adequately protected & maintained can also increase energy efficiency & prolong roof life. Insufficient clearance. Extend/ add 8 inches.
		The Seals A sealant is a viscous material that becomes a solid or semi-solid after it has been applied to any given surface. Upon solidifying, it effectively protects the roof from possible damage that can be caused by such elements as dust, smoke, air, gas, or water. Since your roof structure protects the entire home itself, it is easy to see how critically important the sealant is.

Roof Check

		Minor Defects Here are a few examples of minor infractions we found along the way. Minor Defects 1 See photo. Minor debris.
		Minor Defects 2 See photo. Minor scar scars. Minor Defects 3 See photo. Minor degranulation.
		Minor Defects 4 See photo. Minor dings from installation. Minor Defects 5 See photo. Slight lifting in the valley.
		Minor Defects 6 See photo. Minor delamination. Minor Defects 7 All of the above are not worth fixing at this point in time.

Roof Check

		Roof Disclaimer Stuff Minor deterioration or defects in the roofing material are considered to be functional damage. We can not see through the Shingle or membrane to the sheathing & therefore can not be inspected for evidence of leaks. The remaining roof life is approx only & does not preclude the possibility of leakage. Leakage can develop at any time & may depend on rain intensity, wind direction, ice buildup & other factors. Chimney/flue interiors that are not readily accessible are not inspected & could require repair. The roof inspection may be limited by access, condition, weather, or safety concerns.
		Skywalker Our field walks, roof walks, or Surface Artefact Collection (SAC), as it is sometimes known, is the systematic recovery & recording of “things” found on the roof's surface. Our findings are recovered by walking all over the roof in an organized fashion, as shown in the accompanying photos & pages below.

Roof Check

		Roof Front View Our roof walks are carefully planned with a defined objective that you’ll see throughout this report.
		Roof Side View 1 In our planning & preparation for our skywalks, we typically use the transect method where we walk a GRID.
		Roof Side View For your records.
		Roof Back View Findings recovered from our walks are a representation of the entire surface & can provide quantitative data helpful in assessing the overall condition.

Roof Check

		Corner Front View Below is a few photos taken while doing our cross-grid investigation. We also do this to give you a better overall understanding of the condition of your roof.
		Other Corner Front View For your records.

Roof Check

		Squash / Deflection Test We can’t take a photo of everywhere we stepped, but here are a few from select locations. Soft Spot Check 2 For your records.
		Soft Spot Check 3 For your records. Noticeable soft point. Reinforce. Soft Spot Check 4 For your records.
		Squash / Deflection Test Yes, we’re using our eyes, but as mentioned in the previous pages (walking the GRID), we’re using our feet to feel. Soft spots form when the layer underneath your roof gets doused. This often happens due to gaps in your roof’s shingles or membrane. Soft spots can occur anywhere on a roof, & often, there are several at a time. They are easiest to notice in the spring when warming temperatures cause shingles & other roofing materials to expand, making dips & buckles visible.

Roof Check

Seams & Lifting Shingles Multiple factors negatively influence the adhesion of shingles & seams. These factors include manufacturing inconsistencies, improper installation, aging & deterioration, installations during cold weather, contamination of the adhesive, and cyclic thermal expansion & contraction.

It has been our experience that any sealed-down shingle or seal affected by wind will leave lasting evidence that the event has occurred. This evidence is exhibited as creases, folds, tears, missing shingles or portions of shingles, or any combination thereof. Further, multiple factors influence the adhesion that we also consider. Care is taken in discriminating between affected shingles or seams, whether it’s compromised by the elements, installation, or other factors.

Roof Check

		Lift / Seam Test Visually examined for common defects. Lift Check 3 Visually examined for common defects.
		Lift Check 6 Visually examined for common defects.
		Lift Check 9 Visually examined for common defects.
		Lifting & Seams Factors that influence lifting & seams include: - Where your home is situated & the local weather patterns - Your roof geometry - Installation flaws - The age & condition of the roof - Other variables When we touch a seam or shingle, we use gentle techniques & great care to help us better understand if it has been compromised through the elements, age, a bad install, or another variable.

Roof Check

		Shingle / Membrane Overlap 1 It is the most important chemical factor to be maintained in swimming pools. pH is measured on a scale from O to 14 with 7 being neutra Shingle / Membrane Overlap 1 Visually examined for common defects.
		Shingle / Membrane Stagger 1 For your records. Shingle / Membrane Stagger 2 For your records.
		Staggers & Overlaps No matter what you call it, maintaining shingle or membrane stagger is essential to prevent roof leaks & to conform with manufacturers’ instructions. Overlapping helps prevent wind & water from getting beneath the shingle or seam in this critical location. The underlayment is a secondary water barrier if any moisture gets beneath the shingles. Starter shingles are installed to overhang the edge of the eaves slightly to allow for water runoff.

Roof Check

		Pitch of the Roof See photo.
		Roof Pitch Defined Roof pitch is one of the most visible aspects of a roof. It’s the measure of the steepness of a roof or its slope. Roof pitch is expressed as a ratio of the roof’s vertical rise to its horizontal span, or “run.” In the United States, roof pitch is typically measured in inches and expressed as a ratio. The higher the first number (rise) in the ratio, the steeper the roof. The second number is the horizontal area measured, usually as a standard 12 inches (one foot of roof).

Roof Check

		Roof Grade 1 A few photos we took while assessing drainage from varying vantage points. Roof Grade 2 For your records.
		Roof Grade 3 For your records. Roof Grade 4 For your records.
		Roof Drainage The roof slope determines how gravity directs water flow from the roof. Depending on the surface area of the roof, multiple drains must be installed. A roof system redirects water from the roof to the ground surrounding the structure to protect the structure from moisture damage. In general, roof slope tends to be proportional to the amount of rain an area receives.

Roof Check

		Inside Roof Drainage 1 A few photos we took while assessing drainage from varying vantage points. Inside Roof Drainage 2 For your records.
		Inside Roof Drainage 3 For your records. Inside Roof Drainage 4 For your records.
		Gutters & Scuppers A drainage system is a roof component that allows water, twigs, leaves, & other debris to collect off of the roof & flow toward the downspout & onto the ground. The water from the roof drips into the gutter system, which is a long piece of material that is installed along the edge of the roofline. The water will then flow through the gutter & then make its way to the downspout, where it will absorb into the ground. Chokepoint / ice dam potential. Install heat trace cable.

The Dexter Cut What Does A Core Cut Test Tell Us?

The Materials Used 
By analyzing the core samples from your roof, you can identify the materials used for its construction. It is also a way to help determine if any hazardous materials have been utilized.

Thickness, Layers & Composition Core sampling is an effective way to know about the roof design & composition. You can discern how thick your roofing system is, the details about the layers used, & the weight of those layers.

Identification of the Roof Slope If you want to know what the slope of the insulation & roof deck is, core sampling is an ideal & reliable approach. It can also tell you what technique & materials provide the sloping.

Moisture Detection The core sampling test can give you information about the presence & location of wet roofing components. You can ascertain whether water is trapped in the roofing system & how much of it is present.

Roof Deck Details Information about the roof deck’s structural integrity, metal corrodes, concrete spalls, & more can be determined by this technique.

Roof Check

		Spot BEFORE Understanding Core Cut Tests Used for Roof Evaluation At first glance, roofing might seem quite straightforward & simple. However, it involves a lot of details. When we talk about roof inspection, evaluating an existing roof, or roof repair, designing & pricing are two vital aspects, & roof core cut testing is important to determine both.
		Spot AFTER What Is A Core Cut Test? To simplify, a core cut test is when a designer or contractor cuts out a small cross-section of the roof to examine & determine the overall composition of the roofing system. Although cutting out a portion of the roof might seem to be an intrusive roof surveying technique, when it is executed by trained & certified professional roofing contractors, it can be quite harmless.

Roof Check

		Roof Skylights These should be checked yearly (e.g., flashings, sealant & for other damage). When inspecting skylights, we look for signs of water intrusion, checking the interior ceiling below for staining, bubbling paint, or soft drywall. On the roof, we assess the condition of the flashing around the skylight to ensure it’s properly sealed and integrated with the roofing material. We check for any visible cracks in the glass or lens, signs of condensation between panes, and make sure the skylight is securely fastened and properly sloped to shed water. If it’s operable, we also test its function and check for smooth operation and a tight seal when closed

Roof Check

What Lies Beneath How Long Does a Roof Last? One of the key factors that determine if you need a new roof is its age. Now, we all know roofs don’t last forever, but homeowners may be asking themselves: how long does a roof last? What factors impact how long a roof lasts? Quality of the installation & workmanship, environmental conditions, the quality of materials used, and the type of roofing material used. While several factors impact how long your roof lasts, your roof's lifespan most heavily depends on the materials used. This is what you can expect from NEW: - Asphalt 15-20 years - Wood 25-30 years - Metal 20-50 years - Architectural Asphalt 30-50 years - Composite 40-50 years - Slate 50+ years - Concrete 50+ years

Drone

D BACK TO SUMMARY		Drone Information Allows us to enhance the collection of inspection data while removing slower manual steps that place us in danger.
		The View From Above The roof of a home can account for up to 40% of the home's exterior. From curb appeal to home safety, it's important to keep the home looking sharp & (more importantly) dry. Make sure you look up every once in a while for anything out of the norm.
		Roof Utility Penetrations Used in roof assemblies to allow outside air to enter or exit. Such as vents, stacks, flues & others. These should all be inspected yearly for deterioration & re-sealed as needed.
		Inside Gutter Responsible for channeling water flow from your roof through the downspouts & direct it to appropriate areas. Regular cleaning of trough/scupper should be part of your yearly maintenance schedule.

Drone

Bird’s Eye View Most people call them drones. Technically, they’re UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) or sUAS (small unmanned aircraft systems). No matter what you call them, these flying cameras & sensor holders have rapidly become valuable industrial inspection tools. Drone-based inspections help us improve efficiency & data quality while increasing safety & speed of operation.

The roof of your building can be easy to ignore... until suddenly it’s not. Small damage from weathering & aging, as well as less subtle threats like storms, can slowly eat away at the performance & stability of your roof until one day you wake up in need of emergency repairs & end up stuck with a far larger bill than you ever expected.

The solution? Regular, thorough roof inspections conducted by a professional using a drone. From reducing man-hours to ensuring more comprehensive analysis, drones have revolutionized the way property owners & contractors alike think about roof assessment.
