Roof 6 month preventive Maintenance Inspection

Check Roof Surface: Look for cracked, broken, or missing tiles/shingles.
Identify Growth: Look for moss, algae, or heavy staining. (Note: These trap moisture and rot the roof).
Check Flat Sections: Inspect flat areas (over kitchens/HVAC). Look for "ponding" (standing water) that hasn't dried 48 hours after rain.
Check the Perimeter: Look at where the tiles meet the fascia board. Ensure water isn't "wicking" or sucking back under the tiles.

Clear Gutters: Remove all leaves, dirt, and debris from all gutter channels.
Clear Downspouts: Ensure water flows freely through downspouts and collection points. No clogs allowed.
Clear Drainage Paths: Remove any dirt or organic "muck" sitting in the valleys or paths where water travels to the gutters.

Inspect Sealants: Check all caulking and sealants around vents, pipes, and chimneys. Look for cracking or peeling.
Check Flashing: Inspect the metal "flashing" at wall transitions and corners. Ensure it is tight and not pulling away.
Check the Envelope: Ensure there are no visible gaps where water could enter the building.
