HOW TO INSPECT A SLOPED ROOF
Inspecting a sloped roof involves checking the condition of the shingles or tiles, looking for signs of wear like cracks, bows or missing pieces. Start at the bottom and work your way up, inspecting each row. Also make sure gutters and downspouts are clean and in good condition to prevent water from pooling. Next, inspect structural elements like flashing around chimneys, dormers and roof vents. These areas are often weak points where leaks can occur. Use binoculars to check hard-to-reach areas. If problems are identified, schedule repairs as soon as possible to maintain the integrity of the roof.
