FAQs
How often should Andersonville homeowners schedule a professional roof inspection?
Because Andersonville experiences four true seasons—with lake-effect snow, spring downpours, summer UV exposure, and autumn windstorms—we recommend a full professional inspection at least once a year, plus an additional check after any major weather event. Routine annual inspections catch small problems like lifted shingles or cracked flashing before they become costly leaks.
What does Sneaky Leaks Roofing look for during a roof inspection?
Our certified inspectors use a 55-point checklist. On the exterior we examine shingles, seams, flashing, vents, gutters, chimney caps, skylight seals, and roof decking for signs of curling, granule loss, ponding water, and rust. Inside the attic we check insulation levels, ventilation, moisture stains, and structural decking. We document everything with high-resolution photos and thermal imagery so you can see exactly what we see.
Do you use drones or infrared technology in your inspections?
Yes. For steep or delicate roofs we deploy FAA-licensed drone pilots to capture 4K overhead imagery that would be dangerous or impossible to view on foot. We also carry handheld infrared (IR) scanners that measure temperature differentials, revealing hidden moisture pockets under shingles or in attic insulation. These tools allow us to locate “sneaky leaks” without invasive tear-offs.
How much does a roof inspection cost?
A standard single-family home inspection in Andersonville costs $149. That includes the on-site evaluation, drone and IR scans when required, and a written digital report with repair recommendations and photos. If you hire Sneaky Leaks Roofing to perform the suggested repairs within 60 days, we credit the full inspection fee toward the repair invoice—essentially making the inspection free.
Can Sneaky Leaks Roofing help me file an insurance claim if damage is found?
Absolutely. Our inspection report is formatted to satisfy most insurers’ documentation requirements. If we find storm-related damage, we can meet with the adjuster on site, provide photographic evidence, and supply itemized estimates. This advocacy often speeds up approval and ensures you receive the maximum coverage allowed under your policy.
What happens if you discover a problem during the inspection?
We will show you real-time photos, explain the severity, and discuss repair options on the spot. You’ll receive a written estimate for any recommended work, prioritized by urgency. Minor issues—such as sealing a vent boot or replacing a handful of shingles—can often be fixed the same day. Larger repairs or full replacements are scheduled at your convenience, and our crews are licensed, bonded, and insured for Illinois roofing work.
