FAQs
Why should I schedule a professional roof inspection in Maryville?
Maryville’s mix of hot, humid summers, sudden thunderstorms, and occasional winter ice can accelerate wear on shingles, flashing, and underlayment. A professional inspection from Hidden Leaks Roofing pinpoints small problems—loose fasteners, lifted shingles, hairline punctures—before they become costly leaks. It also protects manufacturer warranties, helps maintain property value, and provides written documentation that may lower insurance premiums or speed up storm-damage claims.
How often should Maryville homeowners have their roofs inspected?
We recommend two routine inspections each year—once in early spring after winter’s freeze-thaw cycles and once in late fall before colder weather arrives. In addition, book an inspection any time your home experiences hail, high winds over 50 mph, or falling debris. Regular checkups reduce the likelihood of surprise leaks and extend your roof’s life by 5–10 years.
What does a Hidden Leaks Roofing inspection include?
1) Ground-level and on-roof visual survey of shingles, flashing, vents, and penetrations. 2) Attic evaluation for moisture stains, mold, or inadequate ventilation. 3) Infrared scanning and moisture-meter testing to uncover hidden water intrusion. 4) Gutter and downspout check for blockages or fascia damage. 5) Digital photo report summarizing current condition, recommended repairs, and a no-obligation estimate. Every inspection meets or exceeds NRCA and Tennessee licensing standards.
Can an inspection find hidden leaks if I don’t see interior water stains yet?
Yes. Most leaks begin as microscopic breaches under shingles or at nail holes, so you won’t notice them until insulation is saturated. Our inspectors use thermal imaging to detect temperature variations caused by trapped moisture, probe seams with electronic meters, and visually assess under-shingle layers. Catching seepage at this stage saves drywall, flooring, and electrical systems from water damage down the road.
How long does an inspection take, and will it disrupt my day?
A typical single-family-home inspection requires 60–90 minutes on site. Because we use drones and harnessed roof access, you don’t need to be home on the roof with us—just provide attic access if possible. We keep noise and foot traffic minimal, clean up any debris, and email your full report within 24 hours, so your daily routine remains virtually undisturbed.
Will an inspection help with my insurance claim after storm damage?
Absolutely. Insurance carriers often deny or reduce payouts without clear, date-stamped evidence. Our inspectors document every damaged shingle, hail bruise, and wind-torn ridge cap with high-resolution photos, measurement data, and repair estimates that align with Xactimate pricing. We can also meet your adjuster on site to advocate for full coverage, ensuring you receive the funds needed for proper restoration.
