FAQs
Why should I schedule a professional roof inspection instead of checking the roof myself?
A professional roof inspector is trained to spot subtle signs of hidden leaks, storm damage, and material failure that are easy to overlook without specialized tools and experience. Our inspectors also know local Gatlinburg building codes and climate-related risks, ensuring any issues are identified and documented before they lead to costly interior damage or structural problems.
How often should Gatlinburg homeowners have their roofs inspected for hidden leaks?
We recommend a full roof inspection at least once a year—ideally in spring or fall—plus an additional inspection after any major hail, wind, or snow event. Gatlinburg’s humid summers and heavy winter snows can accelerate wear, making routine inspections vital for preventing hidden moisture intrusion and mold growth.
What does Hidden Leaks Roofing look for during a roof inspection?
Our comprehensive inspection covers shingles, flashing, vents, chimney caps, gutters, attic ventilation, and interior ceilings. Using infrared moisture scanners, we detect hidden leaks beneath roofing materials. We also document granule loss, loose fasteners, ponding water, and insulation problems, providing a photo-rich digital report within 24 hours.
How long does a typical roof inspection take and will it disrupt my day?
Most residential roof inspections in Gatlinburg take 60–90 minutes. We coordinate appointment windows that suit your schedule, and you do not need to be home for the exterior portion. If attic access is required, we’ll arrange a convenient time so disruption is minimal.
What happens if the inspection reveals hidden leaks or other damage?
Your detailed inspection report will outline each issue, its urgency level, and recommended repair options. Our team can provide on-the-spot temporary leak mitigation if water intrusion is active, followed by a transparent repair estimate. You’re free to review, ask questions, or seek additional quotes—no obligation.
Does my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of a roof inspection or repairs?
While routine inspections are typically out-of-pocket expenses, many Gatlinburg homeowners successfully file insurance claims for storm-related damage uncovered during our inspection. We supply the photographic evidence and code references insurers need, and we can meet with your adjuster onsite to streamline the claim process.
