Above the Gutter With Atlanta Home Inspector

Above the Gutter
Your home doesn't stop at the gutter. So why should your home

inspection!

Peering over the top of his ladder into the leaf strewn, pine needle filled

Aluminum gutter, the inspector will note that a good cleanning is due.

Then he will hop off the ladder, tip his hat to signify the end of this

inspection, and stroll to his truck, whistling all the way to the bank. This

inspector didn't so much as mention the wrinkles, punctures or blisters-

unless he was talking about his hands from carrying that ladder around

that he barely uses. What else did he fail to mention? Sadly, you will

never know, because he did not walk the roof. If he had, he could have

explained that wrinkles are not just found on fading Southern Belles -

they are found on your shingles when there is movement between the

roof decking, and perimeter. Flashings will wrinkle because of this

movement, form a tunnel-like opening and water will spill down into

your home. OOPS. This is just one reason you want to

hire an inspector that is above the gutter!

Interesting!  Great Post ... thanks for being so frank.  We rely on inspections and to think that they are not complete is unbelievable!  Fortunately ... we have a couple of guys here that are better than good and I always feel confident asking them to take a look at a hose!

Very few home inspectors actually walk on the roof out here. Usually it’s because of the concrete/clay tiles, but also because of insurance concerns. If our insurance won’t cover us for doing something, we don’t do it.

Russel - I am sure geography and roof composition would have bearing on roof walking. So insurance doesn't cover it? What do roofers do? ~ Jennifer the IHI Home Inspections Office Girl
