So we were called out to do a inspection on the gutters but once we seen the condition of the roof we wanted to perform a roofing inspection as well. The following is our findings in the inspection
Inspection of the gutters and roof
- 1Gutters failing on front of house
In these pictures you can see how badly these gutters are failing. They are in terrible shape and are almost falling off the house. The old nails are missing and coming out of the gutters. Someone has tried to fix this by adding screw mounted brackets but as far gone as these gutters are they should have been replaced a long time ago.
Go To Pin - 2Gutters
Once again you can see how badly these gutters are failing. They are in terrible shape and are almost falling off the house. The old nails are missing and coming out of the gutters. Due to rain water over topping gutter there is a decent amount of roof decking that is rotted out. This is in several places around the house as well
Go To Pin - 3Moss and lichen eating the shingles
Lichen is a organism that can live on almost anything but on shingles it can actually eat away at them.
Moss on the other hand like to grow along the edge of shingles and the hair like root system grows under or in between the shingles this actually wicks moisture under the shingle causing them to stay wet and this will rust out the nails leaving just a hole where the nail use to be.
