What Happens During a Professional Roof Inspection in Arizona?
Your roof is one of the most critical parts of your home — yet many homeowners don't think about it until something goes wrong.
In Arizona, where scorching heat, high winds, and intense storms are common, scheduling regular roof inspections isn’t just a good idea — it’s essential.
At Camelback Roofing, our professional roof inspections are designed to give homeowners peace of mind, prevent costly surprises, and extend the life of their investment.
Here’s exactly what happens during a thorough roof inspection — and why it’s so important.
Why Are Roof Inspections Critical in Arizona?
Arizona’s unique desert climate creates serious challenges for roofing systems:
Thermal stress from daily extreme temperature swings
UV degradation that dries and cracks materials
Monsoon storms that can cause flash flooding, wind damage, and hail impacts
Even a small issue left unchecked — like a cracked tile or loose flashing — can lead to expensive interior damage when the next storm rolls through.
Annual roof inspections help catch problems early, saving you thousands of dollars and protecting your home year-round.
What We Check During a Professional Roof Inspection
At Camelback Roofing, we follow a detailed, step-by-step process during every inspection to ensure nothing is overlooked.
1. Exterior Roof Assessment
We start by visually examining every part of your roof from the outside.
What we look for:
Missing, cracked, or curling shingles
Broken or slipped roof tiles
Blisters or cracks in flat roofing membranes
Rusted or damaged flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights
Damaged or missing drip edge or fascia boards
Special Arizona Tip:
Tile roofs are especially popular here, but even a single displaced tile can create a path for water intrusion. We pay close attention to tile alignment and underlayment condition.
2. Interior Roof & Attic Inspection
A strong roof protects both outside and inside your home.
We inspect your attic or crawlspace for:
Water stains on wood beams or insulation
Signs of mold, mildew, or fungal growth
Sunlight penetration through gaps or cracks
Proper ventilation (critical for cooling efficiency)
Did you know?
Poor attic ventilation not only raises your energy bills but also accelerates roof material deterioration in Arizona’s extreme heat.
3. Drainage and Gutter Systems
Next, we check that your drainage systems are working properly.
Water pooling on the roof — even small amounts — can cause major problems over time.
We check for:
Clogged or broken gutters and downspouts
Ponding water on flat roofs
Evidence of previous leaks around scuppers, drains, or roof edges
Proper water flow away from your home is key to preventing erosion, foundation issues, and interior water damage.
4. Structural Stability Check
We also evaluate the overall structure of the roof:
Checking for sagging, bowing, or uneven rooflines
Inspecting for soft spots or compromised decking
Looking for signs of pest intrusion (especially after monsoon season)
Structural issues are rare if maintenance is regular, but catching them early can prevent major repair bills later.
What Happens After the Inspection?
After completing the inspection, we sit down with you and walk you through our findings — no jargon, no scare tactics, just clear, honest information.
You’ll receive:
A detailed written report
Photographs highlighting any problem areas
Repair recommendations (if needed)
Honest advice about whether repairs are urgent or can wait
If repairs are needed, we’ll also provide a no-obligation estimate so you can make an informed decision.
How Often Should You Schedule a Roof Inspection?
We recommend:
Once per year for standard maintenance
Immediately after major storms (especially after hail or heavy monsoons)
Before buying or selling a home (real estate inspections)
After roof installation or major repairs (to maintain warranty protections)
Being proactive can add 5–10 extra years to the life of your roof.
