FAQs
Why should I have my roof inspected if I don’t see any obvious leaks?
Most leaks start under shingles or around flashing and can remain hidden for months. By the time stains show up on ceilings, water may already have rotted decking, insulation, and framing. A routine inspection lets our Heiskell technicians spot cracked shingles, lifted nails, and soft spots early, saving you from far-costlier structural and interior repairs.
How often do Heiskell homeowners need a professional roof inspection?
We recommend twice a year—once in the spring after winter freeze-thaw cycles and once in the fall before cold weather returns. Add an extra inspection after any severe wind or hailstorm. East Tennessee’s humidity, summer heat, and sudden storms accelerate shingle aging, so a regular schedule is the best preventive medicine.
What does Hidden Leaks Roofing look for during an inspection?
Our licensed crew performs a 50-point checklist: exterior shingle wear, granule loss, flashing integrity, chimney and vent seals, gutter attachment, fascia and soffit condition, attic insulation moisture, and proper ventilation. We supplement the visual survey with moisture meters and optional drone or infrared imaging to detect trapped water that can’t be seen from the surface.
Will the inspection damage my roof or property?
No. We use non-invasive techniques—walk-throughs on safe load-bearing sections, drones for steep slopes, and handheld thermal cameras. If a small shingle or vent boot needs to be lifted for verification, we request your approval first and reseal the area before leaving.
How long does the inspection take and when will I get the results?
A typical single-family home in Heiskell takes 45–90 minutes. Before we leave, we review key findings with you on site. Within 24 hours you receive a digital report with photos, moisture readings, and a prioritized list of maintenance or repair recommendations so you can make informed decisions quickly.
What if the inspection uncovers problems or active leaks?
We’ll provide a same-day written estimate for repairs, explain your options, and, if storm damage is involved, help you document evidence for an insurance claim. Minor issues such as replacing a few shingles or resealing flashing can often be completed on the spot. Larger repairs can usually be scheduled within 48 hours, and financing plans are available if needed.
