Hiring an Expert Matters
Make informed decisions when determining your building’s maintenance budget
VISUAL INSPECTION
• Roofing professionals begin by visually examining the entire roof surface. This involves looking for visible signs of damage, wear and tear, or any issues with the roofing materials such as cracks, punctures, blistering, or loose shingles or tiles.
• They also check for debris buildup, vegetation growth, and any potential sources of leaks, like clogged drains or gutters.
DETECTION
• The roofing technicians document their findings within a report including photographs, notes, and measurements, and budget projections.
• To assess the roof’s moisture condition and identify potential leaks or areas with water intrusion, roofing technicians may use various tools and techniques. This can include infrared thermography, moisture meters, or core samples if needed.
PLAN
• A detailed report of the assessment is provided with the overall condition of the roof, outlining any issues discovered.
•Based on the assessment, within the report we recommend necessary repairs, maintenance work, and/or roof replacement, along with estimated costs and timeline for addressing the identified problems.
FAQs
People. Assets. Money. These three things are top priority to any business owner or buildings and grounds crew when it comes to your building.
- People: A structurally sound roof is essential for the safety of your occupants.
- Assets: Regular inspections and maintenance can prevent structural damage, roof leaks/water entry, and other issues that diminish the value of your property over time.
- Money: Detecting problems early allows for timely repairs, preventing further damage and reducing repair or replacement costs down the road.
IRSC provides its clients with the following for every roofing survey and evaluation:
- A visual evaluation of all roof fields/surfaces, flashings & sheet metal, drains, rooftop equipment & penetrations, associated walls & masonry, review of all former roof evaluation completed, and optional core extraction for asbestos testing.
- A photo report that includes the conditions of your roof systems’ components, any anomalies, and functioning/dysfunctioning systems.
- A maintenance and repair plan, replacement recommendations, and 5-year budget projections.
Credibility and expertise are key things to look for when choosing a company to perform an inspection on your roof and building envelope. Many roofing contractors offer to perform free roof inspections, especially on newly replaced roofs, yet may not be looking out for your best interest. It’s advantageous to seek out an independent third-party expert to give unbiased recommendations.
No other personnel is needed to conduct a roof inspection besides the roofing consultant/technician(s).
For the best results and highest probability of preserving your buildings’ assets, it is recommended to have your building envelope(s) inspected in both the Spring and Fall months of each year. Yet, annual inspections are sufficient. Anything past a year increases the risk for greater damage to your roof due to general wear and tear, weather related ruination, and/or leaks and water entry.
