FAQs
What are the most common signs that I have a roof leak and need detection services?
Typical warning signs include dark or damp spots on ceilings or walls, peeling interior paint, mold or mildew odors in the attic, water stains around roof penetrations (vents, chimneys, skylights), and shingles that are curling, missing, or showing granule loss. In Luttrell’s humid, storm-prone climate, small leaks can worsen quickly, so it’s wise to call for professional detection as soon as you observe any of these indicators.
How do you locate hidden roof leaks, and what technology do you use in Luttrell?
Our technicians combine visual inspections with advanced tools. We start with a rooftop assessment, then use infrared thermography to spot temperature anomalies that indicate trapped moisture. On metal or flat roofs we may perform electronic leak detection or deploy drones for hard-to-reach areas. Smoke testing and moisture meters help confirm the exact entry point, ensuring we identify the source—not just the symptom—of the leak.
Will the leak detection process damage my roof?
No. Modern leak detection is non-invasive. Infrared cameras, electronic scanners, and drones give us precise data without removing shingles or drilling holes. If we must lift a shingle or small flashing to verify a suspect area, we reseal it before we leave. Your roof’s integrity remains intact while we locate—and later repair—any leak.
How much does professional leak detection cost in Luttrell, and what affects the price?
For most single-family homes in Luttrell, leak detection ranges from $175 to $425. Factors influencing cost include roof size and pitch, roofing material, accessibility, number of suspected leaks, and whether specialized tools (e.g., electronic scanning) are required. We provide a written estimate up front, and the fee is often credited toward any repair work you authorize afterward.
How fast can you respond to an emergency roof leak in the Luttrell area?
We offer 24/7 emergency service. For calls made within city limits, a technician can usually be on site within 2–4 hours. During severe storms or after-hours, we prioritize homes with active water intrusion to minimize interior damage. Temporary tarping or patching is performed immediately, followed by a full leak assessment when conditions are safe.
What happens after you find the leak—do you also handle repairs?
Yes. Once we isolate the leak, you’ll receive a detailed report that includes photographs, a description of the problem, and recommended repair options. Our roofing team can complete most fixes—shingle replacement, flashing repair, sealant application, or membrane patching—on the same visit. If extensive work is needed, we schedule it at your convenience and apply the cost of detection toward the final repair invoice.
