FAQs
What are the most common causes of roof leaks in Hixson?
In Hixson, frequent causes include storm damage from hail and high winds, cracked or missing shingles, degraded flashing around chimneys and vents, clogged gutters that force water under the roofing, and age-related wear on older roofs. Our technicians inspect all these areas to pinpoint the exact source of the leak before recommending repairs.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency roof leak?
We offer 24/7 emergency service in Hixson. In most cases, a crew can be onsite within 2–4 hours of your call. Our first priority is to tarp or temporarily seal the damaged area to stop active water intrusion, then schedule a full repair once conditions are safe and materials are ready.
Will a leak repair require a full roof replacement?
Not necessarily. If the damage is localized—such as a few missing shingles or a single section of flashing—a targeted repair is often sufficient and cost-effective. However, if the roof has multiple leaks, widespread shingle deterioration, or is nearing the end of its service life (typically 20–30 years for asphalt shingles), we may recommend a replacement to prevent recurring issues and higher long-term costs.
How do you detect hidden leaks that aren’t obvious from inside the home?
Our team uses a multi-step approach: visual inspection of the roof surface, attic examination for water stains or mold, infrared moisture scanning to detect temperature variations caused by damp areas, and, when needed, water testing to trace the leak path. This comprehensive process ensures we locate even hard-to-find leaks before they cause significant structural damage.
What materials do you use for leak repairs, and are they covered by warranty?
We use high-quality, manufacturer-approved shingles, underlayment, sealants, and flashing that match or exceed your existing roof’s specifications. All repair materials come with a manufacturer’s warranty (typically 20–50 years depending on the product), and we back our workmanship with a 2-year labor warranty. If a repaired area fails within that period due to our installation, we fix it at no cost.
How much does a typical roof leak repair cost in Hixson?
Costs vary based on the extent and location of the damage. Minor shingle or flashing repairs generally range from $250 to $600. Moderate repairs, such as replacing a large section of shingles or re-flashing a chimney, can run $600 to $1,500. Extensive structural repairs or multiple leak sites may exceed $1,500. We provide a detailed, no-obligation estimate after inspection so you know exactly what to expect.
