Your roof is hiding something.
Shingles crack. Seals fail. Water takes the quiet route into your attic and settles in for the winter. By the time a stain appears on the ceiling, the culprit has had weeks, maybe months, to work.
That is where we come in. We are roof inspectors, not salespeople. We read the evidence, document every clue with photos and tell you what is urgent, what can wait and what is perfectly fine. You get the truth, and you decide what happens next.
Six places a roof gives itself away
Every inspection checks the usual suspects. Here is where the clues hide.
Exhibit 1Shingles Cracked, curled, bruised or missing. The surface tells the first part of the story.
Exhibit 2Flashing Where roofs meet walls and chimneys, a failed seal is the classic leak suspect.
Exhibit 3Vents & penetrations Rubber collars crack in the sun and let water straight into the attic.
Exhibit 4Gutters & drainage Clogs and sags send water behind the fascia instead of away from the house.
Exhibit 5Attic & ventilation Stains, damp insulation and poor airflow are confessions from the inside.
Exhibit 6Valleys & edges Debris dams the water here. Slow leaks start in places you never look.
Drag the scanner across the roof
Some damage hides from plain sight. Move the slider to see a thermal view of moisture hiding under the surface.

- 4

Every finding gets a photo and a note, organized so the story is easy to follow.
- 6
The Verdict
A plain-English ruling: what is urgent, what can wait and whether you need a repair or more.
Anatomy of a roof
Eight parts, eight chances for something to go wrong. Tap a pin to see what we look for.
The first line of defense. We look for cracking, curling, bruising, missing tabs and lost granules.
The hidden layers. Soft spots, stains and dark nail rust underneath tell us what the top can't.
Sagging lines and cracked members are evidence of old leaks or heavy loads.
Where air escapes. Crooked caps, gaps or blocked vents wreck ventilation.
Metal that bridges two materials. Rust, lifted edges and dried sealant are prime suspects.
Rubber collars around plumbing pipes. They crack in the sun, then drip into your attic.
They move water away from the house. Clogs, sagging and rot send it behind the fascia instead.
Airflow and insulation. Damp insulation or stained wood is a confession.
