"Rob was excellent! Professional, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. I wish I had recorded all the information he shared about fireplace safety before he even started cleaning. Thorough cleaning, but the value was in the inspection. He walked me through the entire camera inspection, showed me every aspect of the chimney construction, and where there were potential dangers due to deteriorating mortar. Thank you for keeping my family safe!"

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Asphalt shingles blister when air gets trapped between building materials, either within the layers of the shingle itself or in adhesives on the undersides of the shingles. As the roof heats up in direct sunlight, the trapped gas expands and creates a bubble in the roof. Eventually, the bubble can pop, leaving an exposed area of decking and underlayment.

Most roof repairs require a permit, though you should always check with your local municipality to confirm whether one is necessary. Some small, immediate repairs may not require immediate permit approval, but larger emergency repairs likely will. If you do any roof repairs without a permit, you could be on the hook for penalty fines, stop-work orders, and legal problems.

If you don’t see obvious signs of roof leaks, like water spots on the ceilings inside or visible damage to the roof membrane, the best way to check for leaks is to have a professional complete a heat scan of your roof. This will identify areas where water has penetrated the membrane and is keeping the roof cooler in certain areas.

Most traditional lenders will not loan against a house with a leaking roof, and some lenders won’t lend against a home with a roof near the end of its lifespan. If the roof on your new home is in poor condition, you may need to have the seller offer a credit for a roof replacement after closing, or you can opt for a renovation loan—also called a 203k loan—to bundle the house and the roof replacement into one loan.

If you suspect that your roof is leaking, you can hire a professional roofing contractor to inspect it to find the source of the issue. There are many possible reasons why your roof is leaking, including broken shingles, damaged flashing, clogged gutters, and more. A roof leak inspection will help you pinpoint the exact cause of the leak and the pro will suggest the best way to resolve it.
