Common Findings Amongst Residential Inspection

Accurate Roof Management has performed several hundred new and existing home roof inspections. As a result, we felt it was best to share with our visitors a listing of some of the top items we’ve discovered for our local area.

• Leaks tended to be more prevalent in homes built before the 1980’s.
• Most leaks were found at valley penetrations.
• The most common type of leak is due to corrosion on the metal flashing and caulking around roof penetrations, windows, skylights and chimneys.
• Leaks are typically sporadic in nature rather than localized and can’t be predicted by an inspection for specific indicators.

Aside from water runoff issues and leaks into homes, cracked shingles is the most common item found. Weather can deteriorate shingles and over time they can become weak. Replacing one or two of them can make a big difference in the overall time your roof will protect your home.
