FAQs
Why are hidden roof leaks a common issue for Niota homeowners?
Niota’s humid subtropical climate brings frequent rain, sudden storms, and wide temperature swings. Water can work its way under lifted shingles, around flashing, or through nail holes, then stay trapped in attic insulation or decking where you can’t see it. Over time that moisture rots wood, feeds mold, and weakens structural members long before ceiling stains appear. A professional inspection targets these concealed pathways so small problems are corrected before they become expensive repairs.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection in Niota?
We recommend two inspections per year—once in the spring after winter freeze-thaw cycles and once in the fall before the heavy rain and wind of winter arrive. You should also call us after any major hail or wind event. Regular inspections allow us to document roof conditions, track minor changes, and extend the life of your roofing system.
What is included in Hidden Leaks Roofing’s inspection service?
Our certified technician performs a 50-point visual and moisture-mapping evaluation. We check shingles, flashing, valleys, eaves, vents, skylights, chimney caps, gutters, and attic ventilation. Using infrared imaging and a pin-less moisture meter, we locate trapped water inside decking or insulation. You receive a detailed digital report with photographs, moisture readings, and prioritized repair recommendations within 24 hours.
Will the inspection damage my roof or disrupt my day?
No. All testing is non-destructive. The technician walks the roof carefully, adheres to OSHA safety standards, and uses handheld equipment that doesn’t pierce shingles. Most residential inspections take 60–90 minutes, and you don’t have to be home as long as we have safe roof access. If you prefer to be present, we can schedule a specific arrival window.
How much does a professional roof inspection cost?
For homes under 3,000 square feet in the Niota area, our standard comprehensive inspection is $149. This fee is waived if you hire Hidden Leaks Roofing to perform any recommended repairs exceeding $500 within 60 days. Commercial or larger properties receive a custom quote based on roof size and complexity.
What happens if the inspection uncovers problems?
Your report will clearly mark each issue—such as lifted shingles or high moisture readings—and classify them as urgent, moderate, or maintenance-level. We provide transparent repair estimates on the spot and can often perform minor fixes the same day. For larger projects we’ll work with your insurance carrier, supply material options, and schedule the repair at your convenience. If no repairs are needed, you gain peace of mind and a documented baseline for future warranty or insurance claims.
