2The Dogpatch Inspection, Step by Step

A Dogpatch inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. This holds across San Francisco County.

Put simply, flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Dogpatch inspection, since that is where most ceiling stains originate. A Dogpatch roof covering is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. San Francisco County is no different. Damp readings matter on Dogpatch low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it. On most jobs, infrared scanning on a Dogpatch commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. It is the same story on most Dogpatch streets.

Cost on a Dogpatch roof covering comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath.

Additions and conversions are common in Dogpatch, and the joint between the original roof covering and the newer section is where nearly all leaks begin. Most roofs in Dogpatch fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their service life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Roof covering age across Dogpatch clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. It is the same story on most Dogpatch streets. Original decking on older Dogpatch homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. San Francisco County is no different.

Photographs with dates are part of every Dogpatch inspection, since an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. Drone access on steep or fragile Dogpatch roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Dogpatch roofs, since the sheathing often gives out ahead of the shingle does.
