Elements of Inspection

For a leak evaluation of your roof, a professional will identify where the leak is coming from. For this to happen, there are several questions that they will need to answer.

  • Is the membrane delaminating?
    • Layers of the roofing membrane will break apart over time. This can be due to improper installation or impervious weather conditions.
  • Are there cracks or tears on the surface?
    • Cracks on the roofing surface are due to low-quality roofing materials and/or inferior shingles.
  • Is the offset correct?
    • Improper roof installation will result in a gap between roofing materials.
  • Is water running off or evaporating properly?
    • When water doesn’t flow off the roof properly, it’s usually due to an improper roofing pitch. Furthermore, when water is not evaporating properly, this means there’s a ventilation issue on your roof.
  • Are the fasteners properly installed and working?
    • Roofing fasteners keep the roofing materials attached to your roof. It’s important that they’re installed properly, as improper installation will result in loose/missing roofing materials.
  • Is the flashing properly installed and working correctly, or is it rusting?
    • Flashing prevents leaks on the most vulnerable areas of your roof, such as around the chimney.

Once the problem—or problems—are identified, it’s important to maintain the integrity of the structure while performing repairs. When you hire Van Martin, we guarantee that our professionals have the experience and expertise to repair your flat roofing system without compromising the structure of your roof.
