Regular roof inspections identify problems before they become emergencies. Understanding what professional inspectors examine helps Dallas-Fort Worth building owners appreciate the inspection process and recognize warning signs themselves. JRH Construction shares our comprehensive inspection approach.
Membrane Condition
Inspectors examine the primary waterproofing membrane for signs of aging, damage, or deterioration. Blistering, cracking, punctures, and UV degradation indicate problems requiring attention. Membrane seams receive special attention as common failure points.
Flashings and Penetrations
Every roof penetration - HVAC units, pipes, vents, skylights - is inspected for proper flashing condition. Sealant integrity, metal flashing condition, and membrane transitions are examined. These details cause most roof leaks.
Drainage System
Drains, scuppers, and gutters are checked for proper function. Debris accumulation, strainer condition, and evidence of ponding water are noted. Proper drainage prevents premature membrane failure and structural damage.
Parapet Walls and Coping
Parapet walls and coping caps are common water entry points. Inspectors check for loose coping, deteriorated mortar joints, and proper counterflashing installation. These edge details are critical waterproofing components.
Interior Inspection
Comprehensive inspections include interior examination when accessible. Underside of roof deck, insulation condition, and signs of moisture intrusion provide valuable diagnostic information not visible from above.
