FAQs
What is a camera-backed roof inspection and how does it benefit my roof assessment?
A camera-backed inspection combines an on-site visual survey with high-resolution photography and video—often captured by drones or pole-mounted cameras. Our technicians record every slope, flashing, valley, and penetration, then review the footage frame-by-frame. This approach allows us to spot hairline cracks, lifted shingles, punctures, and granule loss that can be missed by the naked eye. Homeowners in Dunlap receive a detailed photo report with annotations, making the findings transparent, verifiable, and easy to share with insurers or contractors.
Why is prompt storm-damage inspection important after severe weather in Dunlap?
Dunlap’s spring hail and summer windstorms can compromise roofing systems quickly. Small breaches let water penetrate underlayment, saturate decking, and reach attic insulation—issues that escalate into interior leaks or mold within days. A same-week camera-backed inspection documents damage before temporary tarps shift or shingles self-seal, protecting your eligibility for coverage and preventing minor problems from turning into costly structural repairs.
What kinds of storm damage can your camera technology detect?
High-definition imagery reveals a wide range of issues, including hail bruising and impact craters, wind-lifted or missing shingles, damaged ridge caps, dented vents, displaced flashing, clogged or bent gutters, and subtle granule loss. We also use infrared cameras to locate trapped moisture beneath membranes or shingles—a key indicator of hidden leaks that traditional surface checks can’t find.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency roof inspection in Dunlap?
We maintain a dedicated storm-response crew for Sequatchie County. In most cases we can arrive within 24 hours of your call—often the same day if the request is placed before noon. Our trucks carry drones, ladders, safety gear, and temporary repair materials, so we can document the damage, secure exposed areas, and start the insurance documentation process in a single visit.
Will the inspection photos and video help with my insurance claim?
Yes. Adjusters rely on objective evidence. Our report includes time-stamped images, annotated diagrams of damage locations, and a written assessment that links each defect to the recent storm event. Clients routinely attach our digital package to their online claims portals, which speeds adjuster approval, reduces disputes, and, in many cases, eliminates the need for a second site visit by the insurer.
What if hidden moisture or structural issues are found—do you provide full restoration services?
Absolutely. If the inspection uncovers soaked decking, compromised underlayment, or structural rafter damage, we can transition immediately from documentation to mitigation. Our team offers emergency drying, decking replacement, shingle re-installation, flashing upgrades, and gutter repairs—all compliant with Tennessee building codes. We coordinate directly with your insurer, provide line-item estimates through Xactimate, and manage the project until your roof is fully restored and warrantied.
