Our Thorough Roof Inspection Process
At Sensible Home Solutions, we carefully inspect every roof to accurately identify issues and clearly convey your roof’s condition.
Why Roof Inspections Matter?
Your roof takes the brunt of New England’s weather snow, ice, high winds, heavy rain, and extreme temperature shifts. Over time, this can cause hidden damage that isn’t always visible from the ground. A professional roof inspection ensures problems are found early and addressed correctly. We have been serving homeowners in Amesbury since 2021.
Common Roofing Issues
Missing, cracked, or lifted shingles
Shingles that are loose, damaged, or missing leave your roof vulnerable to leaks and structural deterioration. We identify areas where the roofing system has been compromised and note whether the damage is isolated or widespread.
Storm or tree impact damage
Fallen limbs, hail, or wind-blown debris can cause serious harm to your roof. We look for dents, punctures, broken shingles, and hidden structural issues that often result from severe weather or tree impacts.
Wind-driven rain Leaks
High winds can push water under shingles, into valleys, and around penetrations. We inspect all vulnerable areas where wind-driven rain commonly enters to ensure your home remains watertight.
Shingle granule loss or hail bruising
Loss of granules or bruising from hail affects shingle performance and lifespan. We evaluate the extent and severity of granule wear to determine whether your roof has been damaged by storms or natural aging.
Damaged flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents
Flashing is one of the most common sources of leaks. We closely inspect metal flashings and sealant lines to identify cracks, rust, separation, or improper installation that may allow water to enter.
Soft spots on roof
Soft or spongy areas may indicate moisture intrusion or weakened roof decking. We check for structural concerns that could compromise the roof’s integrity and require attention.
Signs of leaks
We examine both the roof surface and attic for stains, mold, water trails, and moisture buildup. Early detection of leaks prevents costly repairs and protects your home from long-term damage.
