Sometimes you can hear something in the roof but cannot tell what it is or where it is getting in. A roof cavity inspection answers those questions before any other work is booked. The crew we book goes up through the manhole with a torch and looks along the ceiling joists, under the ridge and into the corners where the roof meets the walls. It is a good first step when the signs are unclear.
Inside the cavity they look for droppings, flattened insulation, nesting material, stains on the ceiling boards and rub marks near gaps in the roof. Outside, they walk the roofline from the ground or a ladder and check tiles, iron, eaves, gutters and vents. Putting the two views together shows which gaps are in use and which are only weak spots for now. Photos can be taken of anything hard to reach so you can see it for yourself.
At the end of the visit you get a plain explanation of what was found, along with a price for any removal or proofing work the roof needs. Plenty of people in Nundah book an inspection after buying an older home, after a big storm, or when they notice a stain spreading across a bedroom ceiling. It is a simple way to find out where things stand before spending more.
