Roof Inspections & Maintenance in Ladysmith
Ladysmith Roofing inspects roofs across Ladysmith, Saltair, Chemainus and Cedar for the moss, debris and flashing wear that shorten a roof's life, and checks that venting meets the BC Building Code's 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. On the Island, moss growth is more common on shaded, north-facing slopes and roofs under overhanging trees. We also check the attic side of the roof for adequate ventilation — the BC Building Code sets a minimum vent area relative to the insulated ceiling below, and a roof that's under-vented traps moisture that can rot the deck from the inside before any sign of it shows up outside.
Spring and fall checks
The Roofing Contractors Association of BC recommends inspections at least twice a year, in the spring and the fall. A fall check catches summer wear before winter rain arrives, and a spring check catches anything winter storms left behind. Between visits, keep an eye on your gutters — a downspout that's blocked with moss or needles backs water up under the lowest course of shingles, which is one of the more common causes of a slow leak we get called out for.
