Common Problems We Identify

Some of the common problems we identify during our Glasgow roof surveys include.

Storm Damage

Our roof survey is a perfect service to request after a heavy storm. Heavy storms can haul debris at your home, get under your roof, and cause damages. Damages from heavy winds may be in the form of punctures, loose or missing shingles, and others.

Missing Or Poor Flashings

Your roof is incomplete without the flashings. When your roof’s flashings are compromised, your entire roofing system is at risk. We inspect the roof flashing and areas around chimneys, vents, and other penetrative structures.  look for loose or missing caulking as well as the areas of vulnerability. We also note missing roof tiles that can be a result of heavy winds.

Overgrown Trees

Trees with overgrown limbs stretching across your roof are a disaster waiting to happen. In the face of heavy winds, those tree limbs may break off and damage your roof. The damage may be small or massive, depending on several factors. We include this in our roof survey. We make sure that your roof is protected and possible issues that can cause serious damage in the future are averted. If you have sick or dead trees around that may also hurt your roof’s health, we will note this in our roof condition reports.

Animal Damage

Pests and other small animals can wreak havoc on your roof when they have the chance. Small openings in your roof may become home to these small animals like birds and raccoons. The level of damage may become extensive over time, and that is why our Glasgow roof surveys include this. We identify potential openings that may eventually become animal nests. We also identify those that have already been compromised and provide a recommendation.

Ventilation

Roof ventilation remains an essential part of any roof’s design. The absence of proper ventilation can compromise the health of the roof and roofing materials. We inspect the ventilation to ascertain its health and appropriateness. Our Glasgow roof condition reports will include recommendations on possible modifications, if necessary.

Stagnant Water

Standing water can damage your roof and associated parts like the fascia. We identify this problem and also recommend a fix for it.

Types of Roof Survey We Perform

Visual Roof Survey

This requires a physical assessment of the roof and its parts to identify damaged areas. To determine the roof’s health, our roof inspectors will climb up your building to take a closer look at your roof and determine the problem areas. We use some of the latest equipment in the industry to test your roof to ensure structural integrity. The result of the inspection will give you an idea of the precise roof condition of your roof.

Extended Camera Survey

This is mostly recommended for buildings at a certain height or buildings with complex roof paths. Extended cameras help prevent accidents on the job while also giving an accurate representation of the roof. This survey is also recommended for roofs that have become fragile and compromised.

Drone Roof Survey

We use modern technologies to eliminate the safety risks associated with roof inspection through drone surveys. By deploying our roof inspection drones, we can cover all roofs irrespective of the building’s height. Our drone survey service is perfect for older buildings with fragile roofing and saves cost by eliminating the need for scaffolding, ladders, safety gears and equipment, and associated paperwork.

Our roof inspection drones are fitted with high-definition cameras that can be zoomed in and out to get a clear visual of your roof. It can also take photographs of the affected portions of the roof for better analysis and recommendations. With drone roof inspections, we can complete your roof inspection in a fraction of the time it would take to complete a human inspection.

Core Sampling

When we suspect a roof is retaining moisture, it can be difficult and dangerous to climb and mount such a roof. We offer core sampling survey and roof inspection, which is less invasive and more safety conscious. Our roof surveyors use specialist tools to cut samples from the affected portion of the roof for further testing. With this procedure, we can tell where and why your roof is retaining moisture and can make recommendations to fix the problem.

Thermal Roof Survey

We use infrared technology to detect anomalies with your commercial or industrial roofing system. Using this technology, we can detect roofing problems fast and determine the right solutions. Infrared technology is both non-invasive and non-destructive.
