FAQs
What are common signs that my Duff home may have a hidden roof leak?
Hidden leaks often show up as faint water stains on ceilings or walls, peeling paint, musty odors in the attic, unexplained spikes in utility bills (from wet insulation losing R-value), or warped drywall. In Duff’s humid climate, you might also notice mold growth in corners or around skylights. If you see any of these symptoms, a professional inspection is recommended before more serious damage occurs.
What does your hidden-leak roof inspection involve?
Our certified inspectors begin with a visual review of the roof surface, flashing, chimneys, skylights, and valleys. We then use moisture-reading equipment and infrared thermal imaging to detect temperature anomalies that indicate trapped water beneath shingles or decking. In Duff, where sudden storms are common, we also check underlayment integrity and ventilation. You receive a detailed photo report, moisture map, and prioritized repair recommendations within 24 hours.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection in Duff?
We recommend a full professional inspection at least once every two years, plus an additional check after any major hail or wind event. Duff’s seasonal storms and temperature swings can accelerate wear on shingles and flashing. If your roof is over 10 years old, yearly inspections are advised to catch small leaks before they damage insulation, rafters, or interior finishes.
Do I need to be home during the inspection, and will it disrupt my day?
You don’t have to be present for the exterior portion. Our team can access the roof and attic (with prior permission) while you’re away, and we follow strict safety and cleanliness protocols. Inspections typically take 60–90 minutes for an average-sized Duff residence, and there is minimal noise or disturbance. If you prefer to be on-site, we’re happy to walk you through findings in real time.
What happens if you discover a hidden leak?
If a leak is located, we’ll document the source with photos and thermal images, explain the extent of moisture intrusion, and provide a written estimate for targeted repairs—often the same day. For urgent situations, such as active dripping, we can perform temporary patching to prevent further damage until permanent repairs are scheduled. We also help with insurance documentation, a common need for Duff homeowners after storm-related leaks.
How much does a hidden-leak roof inspection cost, and do you offer free estimates?
A standard hidden-leak inspection in Duff starts at $179 for homes up to 3,000 sq ft and includes thermal imaging, attic moisture testing, and a full digital report. Larger or complex roofs may incur a small surcharge, which we disclose up front. If you choose us to perform any recommended repairs, we credit the inspection fee toward the repair cost. Estimates for repairs are always free and contain no hidden charges.
