FAQs
Why should I schedule a professional roof inspection after a storm in Estill Springs?
Even if your roof looks fine from the ground, wind-driven rain, hail, and falling limbs can create hidden punctures, lifted shingles, and loose flashing. A certified inspector uses specialized equipment and training to spot early-stage leaks or structural weaknesses before they turn into costly interior damage. In Estill Springs, where spring and summer thunderstorms are common, a prompt inspection helps preserve your manufacturer’s warranty, documents any storm impact for insurance claims, and extends the life of your roof.
What storm-related issues can your inspectors detect that a homeowner might miss?
Our technicians look for granular loss on asphalt shingles, hairline cracks caused by hail impact, creased or partially detached shingles from wind uplift, dented metal flashing, compromised ridge vents, and subtle sagging in decking. We also examine gutters, downspouts, and attic spaces for water stains or mold that indicate slow leaks. These problem areas are often invisible from the yard but can lead to premature roof failure if ignored.
How soon after hail or high winds should I have my roof inspected?
We recommend booking an inspection within 48–72 hours of any severe weather event recorded by the National Weather Service for Franklin County. Quick action limits water infiltration during subsequent rain, ensures timely filing of insurance claims (most carriers require notice within 14–30 days), and allows emergency tarping if needed. If you notice shingles in your yard, ceiling spots, or granules in gutters, call us immediately for a same-day assessment.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover repairs identified during the storm damage inspection?
Most standard policies cover sudden and accidental damage from wind, hail, or debris, but coverage depends on your deductible, policy age, and maintenance record. Our team provides a detailed inspection report with photographs and storm-date verification that you can submit to your adjuster. We can also meet on-site with the insurance representative to clarify findings and help you navigate the claim process so you get the maximum allowable benefits.
What does your storm damage roof inspection in Estill Springs include?
1. Exterior evaluation: drone or ladder-assisted imaging of shingles, flashing, vents, chimneys, skylights, and gutters. 2. Structural check: decking firmness, truss integrity, and signs of moisture penetration. 3. Attic analysis: insulation moisture content, ventilation performance, and evidence of mold or mildew. 4. Photo & video documentation: high-resolution images of every affected area. 5. Written report: damage summary, repair recommendations, and cost estimates—delivered within 24 hours.
How long does the inspection take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
Most single-family roof inspections in Estill Springs take 45–90 minutes. We schedule appointments at your convenience, and you don’t need to be home for the exterior portion if we have safe access. Our inspectors wear soft-soled shoes to protect shingles, follow OSHA fall-protection standards, and clean up any debris before leaving. You’ll receive your digital report the same day, allowing you to review findings on your own time.
