FAQs
How does your moisture-tracking technology work and why is it important after a storm?
We use infrared thermography and non-invasive capacitance scanners to detect temperature differentials and elevated moisture levels hidden under shingles, tiles, and roof decking. After a severe Mulberry storm, trapped moisture can spread quickly, rotting wood and encouraging mold. By mapping wet areas within minutes, we can target only the damaged sections, prevent structural decay, and document the exact scope of loss for your insurance claim.
What storm-related warning signs should I look for on my Mulberry roof before calling you?
Look for missing or creased shingles, displaced tiles, dented metal flashing, granule piles in gutters, dark ceiling spots indoors, or a musty odor in the attic. Even if everything looks intact from the ground, wind-driven rain can force water under the roofing surface. If you notice any of these conditions—or if hail or winds over 50 mph were reported in Mulberry—schedule a moisture scan right away.
Can you detect moisture without tearing off shingles or drilling holes?
Yes. Our instruments read through most common roofing materials. Infrared cameras locate temperature anomalies from inside the attic and on the roof surface, while dielectric scanners measure moisture content up to 1-1½ inches deep. No core cuts are required unless insurance or code officials request a physical sample for verification.
How fast can your storm damage team get to my property in Mulberry?
Because we’re locally based in Polk County, our emergency crews are on call 24/7. In most cases we arrive within 2–4 hours of your call, even during high-volume storm events. Rapid deployment allows us to tarp exposed areas, perform a moisture assessment, and begin drying procedures before additional rain causes secondary damage.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the moisture mapping and roof restoration services?
Coverage varies by policy, but most standard homeowners policies written in Florida include wind and hail protection that pays for inspection, mitigation, and repairs necessary to return the roof to pre-loss condition. Our certified technicians provide photographic moisture reports and Xactimate-compliant estimates your carrier needs. We also meet with the adjuster on-site to ensure nothing is overlooked.
How long does the entire moisture remediation and roof restoration process take?
A typical single-family roof inspection takes 1–2 hours, and initial drying or targeted removal of soaked materials can often be completed within 24–48 hours. Full roof repairs or replacement, pending material availability and permit approval from the City of Mulberry, usually take 1–3 days. Complex claims may add a few days for insurance authorization, but our project managers coordinate every step to keep your downtime minimal.
