What does a roof inspection include?
It typically includes inspection of roofing materials, flashing, penetrations, drainage components, and visible structural elements, along with signs of leaks or wear.
Is the roof walked during the inspection?
Walking the roof depends on safety, roof pitch, height, weather conditions, and material type. If unsafe, the inspection is performed from accessible vantage points.
