Tile Roof Inspections
Tile roof inspections are normally charged at $220, including GST. This gives you a full rundown of what needs to be done and a quote for next steps.
Here at Bayside Roof Restorations and Repairs, we recommend having a professional tile roof inspection completed every one to two years. This helps to identify potential problems early, allowing you to repair your roof before costly issues come up. When you prevent damage to your home, you increase the safety of your family and belongings. Extending the roof’s lifespan with regular checks is also a great way to retain your home’s value.
In South East Queensland, this is even more important. We recommend roof inspections well before the summer months and all the storms that come with them. With intense sun, humidity, strong winds, and rain, your roof can take a lot of impact. Before all of this hits, it’s important for your safety to make sure your roof is in top condition – no loose or damaged tiles, no leaks, and no debris or buildup.
Why are Tile Roof Inspections Important?
A tile roof inspection involves a thorough examination of the roof’s condition, identifying any potential issues or damage before they escalate. This includes checking for broken or slipped tiles, ridge capping movement, and storm damage. There are specialised roofing companies in Brisbane, like us at Bayside, which offer inspections to assess your roof’s health and provide a quote for any necessary repairs or restoration work.
Inspections are great for:
- Early detection of problems
- Cost savings
- Preventing further damage
- Maintaining property value
- Ensuring insurance compliance
- Improving energy efficiency
- Readying for buying or selling the house
What Should I Expect During a Tile Roof Inspection?
A professional will visually assess the roof’s condition, looking for signs of damage, wear, and deterioration. This should result in a detailed report outlining any issues found, recommended repairs, and the estimated lifespan of the roof. Professional inspectors may use various methods, including visual inspection, drone footage, thermal imaging, and even dye testing, to thoroughly assess the roof’s condition. They’ll provide you with information on the best steps forward, including a quote for fixing any damage. Together you’ll discuss timelines and the inspector will offer maintenance advice.
What’s typically inspected?
- Roof Tiles: Checking for cracks, breaks, and proper alignment.
- Ridge Capping: Inspecting the condition of the ridge capping and ensuring it’s securely attached.
- Valley Irons: Examining the condition of valley irons, which channel water away from roof valleys.
- Flashing: Assessing the condition of flashing around chimneys, vents, and other penetrations.
- Gutters and Downspouts: Ensuring proper drainage and checking for any blockages.
- Roof Surface: Looking for any signs of leaks, damage, or deterioration.
When Should I Schedule a Tile Roof Inspection?
Aim for a professional inspection at least every one to two years. If your area experiences storms or extreme weather conditions, schedule an inspection soon after to check for damage. If you observe any issues like leaks, loose tiles, or sagging areas, it’s crucial to schedule an inspection immediately. You might also schedule an inspection when you want to buy or sell a property to ensure the roof is in good shape.
