FAQs
Why are regular roof inspections crucial for uncovering hidden leaks?
Many leaks begin in concealed areas—under shingles, around flashing, or inside attic spaces—long before water reaches your ceiling. A professional inspection uses moisture meters, infrared scanners, and close-up visual checks to find these problem spots early. Catching leaks at this stage prevents costly structural damage, mold growth, and insulation loss, ultimately extending the life of your roof and protecting your home’s value.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection in Corryton’s climate?
For most Corryton homeowners we recommend two inspections per year: once in late spring, after winter freeze–thaw cycles, and again in early fall, before heavy rains and potential storms. If your roof is over 10 years old, has experienced recent hail or high winds, or you notice signs like granules in gutters, schedule an extra check immediately.
What are common warning signs of a hidden leak even when no water stains are visible?
Subtle indicators include higher indoor humidity, a musty odor in specific rooms, unexplained spikes in energy bills (caused by wet insulation losing R-value), peeling paint near ceilings, and small areas of warped decking underfoot. Outside, look for lifted shingles, rusted flashing, or dark streaks on the roof surface—all potential entry points for moisture.
What does Hidden Leaks Roofing’s inspection process involve?
Our certified technicians start with a ground-level assessment, then move onto the roof for a shingle-by-shingle evaluation, checking flashing, vents, chimneys, and skylights. We scan the entire deck with thermal imaging to spot moisture pockets invisible to the eye. Inside the attic, we examine insulation, decking, and ventilation for dampness or mold. You receive a detailed digital report with photos, leak locations, repair recommendations, and an estimate—usually within 24 hours.
Can a professional inspection help with my homeowners insurance claim for water damage?
Yes. Insurers often request documented proof that a leak was sudden and not due to neglect. Our inspection report includes timestamped photos, moisture readings, and a written explanation of the leak’s source and extent. This documentation strengthens your claim, speeds up approval, and can help you receive fair compensation for repairs or roof replacement.
What does a hidden-leak roof inspection cost in Corryton, and what affects the price?
A standard single-family home inspection typically ranges from $125 to $225. Factors that can raise cost include steep or multi-story roofs, complex designs with multiple valleys, or adding full infrared scanning. We offer free estimates over the phone and apply the inspection fee toward any repair work you authorize within 30 days, so the evaluation can effectively become no-cost if you move forward with recommended fixes.
