What Our Roof Inspection Covers
A Rain Drainz roof inspection checks your shingles or membrane, flashing, ventilation, and visible decking for leaks, storm damage, and wear. We document every finding with photos and give you a detailed report in plain language. That report helps you decide whether your roof needs repair, replacement, or simple monitoring.
We inspect both pitched and flat roofs. Here’s what’s included in every visit:
Surface Check
We assess shingle or membrane condition across the entire roof, looking for granule loss, curling, blistering, cracking, and general wear. On flat roofs, we check the membrane for seam separation and pooling. This tells us how much usable life your roof has left.
Flashing & Penetrations
Most leaks start where the roof meets something else. We inspect flashing at the chimney, walls, valleys, vents, and skylights for rust, gaps, lifting, and failed sealant. These spots quietly let water in long before a ceiling stain shows up.
Ventilation
Poor attic ventilation shortens roof life and drives up energy bills. We evaluate ridge venting and overall airflow to confirm your roof is breathing the way it should and isn't trapping the heat and moisture that warp decking and shingles.
Deck & Structure
We check the visible decking for sagging, soft spots, and signs of moisture intrusion. Catching a compromised deck early protects the structure underneath and keeps a minor fix from becoming a full tear-off.
Leak Detection
We trace active and past leak signs back to their source, since the spot where water appears is rarely where it entered. Pinpointing the true origin means the repair actually solves the problem.
Storm & Hail Damage
After high winds or hail, we perform a focused storm roof inspection and document wind- and hail-related damage. This evidence supports an insurance claim and gives you a factual record of your roof's post-storm condition. If you're filing a claim, see our Storm Damage Roof Repair page.
Written Report
Every inspection ends with a roof inspection report: clear findings, photos of any issues, and a straightforward recommendation. If repairs are needed, we point you to Roof Repair. If the roof has reached the end of its life, we'll discuss Roof Replacement. No pressure, no upsell. Just the facts.

Roof Inspection FAQs
What does a roof inspection include?
A roof inspection includes a full check of your shingles or membrane, flashing, ventilation, and visible decking, plus a search for active and past leak signs. We inspect both pitched and flat roofs.
How much does a roof inspection cost?
Our roof inspection estimate is free. During the visit, we check the visible roof surface, flashing, ventilation, decking signs, and leak concerns. If a deeper diagnostic or repair is needed, we’ll explain the cost before any work begins.
When should I get my roof inspected?
Schedule a roof inspection after any major storm, at least once a year for routine maintenance, and before buying or selling a home. High winds, hail, and heavy snow can cause hidden damage that isn't visible from the ground, so a post-storm inspection is wise even when nothing looks wrong.
Do you do storm or insurance inspections?
Yes. We perform storm roof inspections and document wind and hail damage with photos to support your insurance claim. A clear, factual record strengthens your case with the adjuster. If you're pursuing a claim, our Storm Damage Roof Repair team can handle the repairs once your inspection is complete.
What happens after the inspection?
After the inspection, you receive a written report with photos and an honest recommendation. If minor issues are found, we'll point you toward Roof Repair. If your roof has reached the end of its life, we'll discuss Roof Replacement. No pressure either way.
