FAQs
Why should I invest in a professional roof inspection for hidden leaks?
Hidden leaks often start as tiny punctures or loose flashing that are invisible from the ground. Left unchecked, they can rot decking, ruin insulation, and trigger mold growth long before you see a ceiling stain. Our certified inspectors in Guild use moisture-mapping tools, infrared cameras, and close-up visual checks to uncover problems early, saving you from expensive structural repairs and extended downtime.
How often do roofs in Guild need to be inspected?
For most residential and light-commercial roofs in Guild, we recommend a full inspection every 12 months, plus an additional check after any severe wind or hail event. The mix of coastal moisture, occasional freeze-thaw cycles, and high summer UV in our area can accelerate wear, so annual visits keep warranties valid and catch minor issues before they escalate.
What does Hidden Leaks Roofing look for during an inspection?
Our eight-point inspection covers: (1) shingles, tiles, or metal panels for cracks, uplift, and corrosion; (2) flashing around chimneys, skylights, and walls; (3) gutters and downspouts for blockages and improper pitch; (4) valley and ridge integrity; (5) roof deck softness indicating rot; (6) attic ventilation and insulation levels; (7) interior ceilings for moisture intrusion; and (8) sealant condition around penetrations such as vents and satellite mounts. We document every finding with photos and moisture readings.
Can you inspect my roof during rainy or cold weather?
Yes. Light rain can actually help us trace active leaks, and our equipment functions in temperatures down to ‑10 °C. For safety, we postpone only when wind speeds exceed 40 km/h or lightning is present. If conditions limit access, we can still perform a preliminary drone and infrared scan, then return to finish the hands-on portion at no extra charge.
How long does an inspection take and what will I receive afterward?
A typical single-family roof inspection in Guild takes 60–90 minutes. Larger or complex roofs may require up to three hours. Within 24 hours you receive a digital report containing annotated photos, moisture-scanner data, a condition grade for each roof section, maintenance recommendations, and an itemized estimate for any repairs. This report satisfies most insurance and real-estate due-diligence requirements.
What happens if you find damage or active leaks?
If we uncover issues, our inspector explains the severity on site and shows you real-time images. You’ll receive repair options ranked by urgency and cost, from spot sealing to partial re-roofing. Should you approve the work, we can usually schedule repairs within 3–5 business days, and inspection fees are credited toward the repair total. We also help you file insurance claims by supplying the necessary photos and documentation.
