Roof Inspection
Regular maintenance of your roof to detect problems early
The roof is one of the most important parts of your home. It ensures that your home is protected from various weather conditions. So it is important to make sure your roof stays in optimal condition and that leaks and other problems are prevented as much as possible. Therefore, it is recommended that a roof inspection be performed once a year. At VIP Dakservice, we offer this service free of charge, to emphasize once again how important it is to have your roof checked regularly.
What is roof inspection?
A roof inspection of a flat roof or a sloping roof is the process of a roofer going up on the roof to check for defects. This includes not only looking for damage, but also paying attention to weak areas of the roof and whether other problems could arise in the future.
Roof inspection involves looking at the entire roof surface, roofing, gutters, chimney and drainage.

Why perform roof inspection?
1. Early detection of problems
With a roof inspection, we are often able to identify any problems early on, before they grow into major and costly damage with potentially other consequences.
2. Protection against leaks
Leaks are relatively common with roofs. It is one of the problems we encounter most often. Because we look for weak spots in the roof, roofing or missing tiles during roof inspections, we can prevent leaks in many cases.
3. Extend roof life
By having your roof inspected regularly and having weak spots and minor problems addressed and repaired immediately, you significantly extend the life of your roof. A roof that is properly maintained will stay in good condition longer and therefore save you money in the long run!
4. Plan of action based on our advice
If you are planning to take care of your roof, you can easily determine the priorities based on the advice of VIP Dakservice. What should be started and what can possibly be postponed to a later date?
Cost of roof inspection
At VIP Dakservice, we offer free roof inspections. We work from our passion and believe it is important for roofs to be properly maintained. Prevention is always better than cure!
In practice, we notice that roof inspection is often skimped on or infrequently performed because of the price tag involved. That is why we offer a free, independent roof inspection from VIP Dakservice. That way, we can properly maintain your roof and significantly extend the life of your roof.
How often to have roof inspection done?
How often you need a roof inspection depends on several factors. Some roofs simply have more to endure than others. The environment where your house is located affects the recommended frequency. If your house is located in a wooded area and your roof often comes into contact with branches and leaves, then the recommendation is to have a roof inspection twice a year. If you live in an urban area where your roof is less affected by branches, leaves and other natural influences, then once a year or perhaps once every two years would be sufficient.
Preventing a roof leak
We at VIP Dakservice regularly get asked how best to prevent a roof leak. The answer is simple – although not 100 percent waterproof. Have a roof inspection periodically so that loose tiles, shifted ridge forks and porous cement are identified in a timely manner. A loose roof tile can allow water to pass through and cause major damage to your home. After the professional roof inspection, we will give you a no-obligation recommendation, after which you decide whether to have roof repair done.
Due to extreme weather conditions, a leak can always occur unexpectedly. However, with a roof inspection you reduce the chance of this happening many times over.
Doing your own roof inspection
While we would not recommend always performing roof inspection yourself, it is of course possible to regularly check your roof yourself. When in doubt, it is always wise to have a professional from VIP Dakservice look over your roof with you for an independent roof inspection.
Here are some steps to get you started with inspecting your own roof:
- Check for visible signs of damage, such as loose or missing shingles, a crack in the roofing or a sagging roof.
- Look for clogs in your gutters and make sure water can flow easily through your gutters. In the fall, when all the leaves fall from the trees, we often get a lot of calls from people who are suffering from moisture. So this can be due to a lot of leaves in your gutters.
- Inspect any roof penetrations and make sure they are properly sealed and undamaged.
Difference flat roof and pitched roof in roof inspection
With roof inspection, it also makes a difference whether you have a flat roof or a pitched roof. Not in the cost, but in the method and weaknesses.
In general, flat roofs have more to endure than sloped roofs. This is because on flat roofs, various things that fall from the sky remain longer: rain, snow, (damp) leaves, you name it.
In addition, the roofing on a flat roof is often different than on a pitched roof as well. Pitched roofs are often covered with tiles or thatch, where a flat roof is often covered with bitumen. With a pitched roof, we pay particular attention during roof inspection to whether there are any bald spots caused by shifted tiles, and with a flat roof, we pay particular attention to whether there are weak spots in the bitumen caused by long-term pollution.
