FAQs
Why are roof inspections especially important in Kodak's humid Tennessee climate?
Eastern Tennessee experiences average humidity levels above 70% for much of the year. That constant moisture can seep under shingles, feed mold and algae, corrode metal flashing, and rot wooden decking. A professional inspection spots early signs of humidity-related damage before they escalate, saving you the cost of a premature reroof or structural repairs.
How often should I have my roof inspected?
Schedule a comprehensive inspection at least twice a year—once in spring after winter freezes and once in fall after intense summer heat and storms. Also book an inspection any time you notice a leak, after hail or high-wind events, or if your roof is more than 10 years old.
What moisture-related issues do your inspectors look for?
During a humidity-focused inspection we check for soft or spongy decking, blistered or curling shingles, algae or moss streaks, rusted fasteners, loose or corroded flashing, nail pops, clogged attic vents, damp insulation, and condensation stains on rafters. We also use infrared cameras or moisture meters to detect hidden trapped water.
Can high humidity shorten the lifespan of my roofing materials?
Yes. Persistent humidity accelerates the breakdown of asphalt-shingle adhesives, causes metal components to rust, and keeps roof sheathing damp—setting the stage for rot and structural weakening. Without regular inspections and proper attic ventilation, a roof expected to last 25 years can fail in 15–18 years.
What will I receive after the inspection is complete?
Within 24 hours we send you a digital report that includes annotated photos, moisture-meter readings, ventilation and insulation assessments, a health grade for each roof section, and a prioritized checklist of repairs with budget estimates. We’ll also review the findings with you and answer any follow-up questions.
Does my homeowners insurance require regular roof inspections?
Many Tennessee insurers now ask for proof of recent (within 2–3 years) roof inspections before renewing policies or paying water-intrusion claims. Keeping an inspection record shows you’ve maintained the roof and can help you avoid denied claims or higher premiums.
