Roof inspections aren't just for obvious leaks. If your roof is over 10 years old, you should have it inspected annually. If you're buying or selling a home in Yellow Springs, a roof inspection is essential due diligence. If a storm hit your area, an inspection documents damage for insurance claims. Yellow Springs Roofing & Maintenance handles all three.
Flashing failures cause most roof leaks, not shingle failures. That's why we check every flashing point: chimney flashing (the #1 leak source), step flashing at wall transitions, counter-flashing at masonry, pipe boots at plumbing vents, and vent boots at exhaust penetrations. We check the sealant condition at each and note any gaps, corrosion, or separation.
Our Roof Inspection Process
Schedule Your Inspection
Quick scheduling by phone or online. Most Yellow Springs inspections booked within 3-5 business days. Storm damage inspections prioritized for faster turnaround.
Exterior Roof Walk
Our inspector walks every section of the roof. Shingles checked for cracking, curling, buckling, missing tabs, and granule loss. All flashing inspected — chimney, pipe boots, vent boots, step flashing, counter-flashing, valleys. Ridge cap and ridge vents examined. Drip edge condition noted.
Below-Deck Assessment
Below-deck inspection from the attic. We verify that soffit vents aren't blocked by insulation, ridge vents are continuous, and there's no moisture or mold on the sheathing. Ventilation problems shorten roof life dramatically.
Report & Recommendations
You receive a written report with annotated photos within 48 hours. Findings prioritized by urgency: critical (active leaks, failed flashing), moderate (worn shingles, marginal ventilation), and low (cosmetic, long-term maintenance). Repair estimates included.
