Pipe boot and vent leaks
Cracked rubber collars around pipes
A proper inspection covers the covering, every penetration, all flashing runs, the roof space from inside, and the ventilation balance — then tells you what is wrong, what will be wrong within a couple of years, and what can wait. It is worth doing annually in storm-prone areas and before buying a property. A survey that only looks from the ground, or only from a drone, misses the attic entirely, which is where the most useful evidence usually is.
Pueblo sits in one of the most active hail corridors in the country, and hail is the roof killer here in a way that is easy to underestimate. The stone rarely punches through a shingle. It bruises the asphalt mat beneath the granule surface, leaving a soft spot that sheds water for another season or two and then fails — which is why a leak in Pueblo County so often traces back to a storm the owner had stopped thinking about. Insurers know the pattern and scrutinise the gap between storm date and claim, so the roofs that get paid for are the ones that were documented when the hail fell rather than when the ceiling stained. Wind arrives with the same systems and does the quieter damage: lifting tabs, breaking the seal strip underneath, and leaving a roof that looks untouched from the driveway.
Pueblo has a population of about 111,876, and the housing stock here sets the pattern for what fails first on a roof.
It is a sales visit. That is not automatically bad, but the incentive is to find work, and a free inspection rarely includes attic access or a written report. A charged inspection you can hand to someone else is a different product.
Annually in a hail or storm-prone area, otherwise every two to three years, and always after a significant storm. The damage that causes leaks is usually invisible from the ground, which is exactly why it goes unnoticed.
