Course Information
In this online training video, you will learn the 10 steps of performing a roof inspection.
Parts 2 and 3 are scheduled to be released at a later date, and continue with the topics of the roof's structural components, insulation, ventilation, defect recognition, and attic access.
Objective
The objective of this training video is to teach the industry's best practices for inspecting a roof covering. After successful completion of this training video, you will be able to verify:
- that the installation of the roof covering and underlayment follow common building practices or the general recommendations of most roof covering manufacturers; and
- that the installation is done to a quality and workmanship such that water intrusion will be prevented.
Because more than 75% of all homes use asphalt roof shingles, we focus primarily on that type of roof.
