Roof Inspections & Maintenance in Ladysmith
Ladysmith Roofing inspects roofs across Ladysmith, Saltair, Chemainus and Cedar. We check your roof for moss, debris and flashing wear, and we make sure your venting meets the BC Building Code minimum of 1/300 of the insulated ceiling area.
What a roof inspection covers
We check flashing, vents, gutters and the shingle or metal surface for wear, and clear moss and debris that trap moisture against the roof. We clear moss more frequently on shaded, north-facing slopes and areas under overhanging trees. We check your attic ventilation to ensure it meets the BC Building Code minimum ratio of 1/300 of the insulated ceiling area.
Spring and fall checks
The Roofing Contractors Association of BC recommends inspections at least twice a year, in the spring and the fall. We perform fall checks to catch summer wear before winter rains, and spring checks for storm impact. We recommend keeping downspouts clear, as blocked gutters back water under your lowest shingle course and cause slow leaks.
What we photograph and why
During every roof inspection, we take clear, high-resolution photographs of key structural points so you can see the exact condition of your roof without climbing a ladder. We capture detailed photos of metal flashing around chimneys, skylights, dormers, and vent stacks to show whether seals are holding or rusting out. We document moss coverage on shaded slopes, heavy needle accumulation in valleys, and granule loss on aging shingles.
We also photograph the attic side of the roof deck where accessible, highlighting any water staining, damp sheathing, or blocked intake vents. If we spot sagging gutters, damaged fascia boards, or cracked plumbing boots, we record those images as well. We attach these photos directly to your written inspection report alongside our notes and recommendations.
Having clear visual evidence allows you to make informed choices about necessary repairs or maintenance. You see what we see on your roof, making it easy to understand current wear patterns and plan future work. If you need documentation for home insurance records or property updates, these photos provide a helpful record of your roof's physical condition over time.
